Adams Rite 7130 Electric Strike - Flat Faceplate - For Aluminum Jamb - 6-7/8" faceplate

The Adams Rite 7130 electric strike delivers remote electrical control of aluminum storefront and narrow stile doors equipped with Adams Rite deadlatches or cylindrical locksets. Its oversized 1-1/4" x 6-7/8" flat faceplate with radius corners serves two purposes: it covers the standard strike opening cleanly, and it's sized specifically to cover the larger opening left behind when retrofitting from an MS pivoted-bolt deadlock to a deadlatch. The 7130 is UL 1034 burglary-resistant listed and UL 294 listed, carries a stainless steel bolt retainer jaw, and fits into aluminum jamb sections as shallow as 1-5/8" deep. It accepts 12 or 24 volt AC and DC power and ships field-convertible between fail-safe and fail-secure operation.

What doors and locksets is the Adams Rite 7130 compatible with?

The 7130 is engineered for doors fitted with Adams Rite 4500, 4900, or 4700 series deadlatches, or any cylindrical key-in-lever or key-in-knob lockset with a latchbolt projection between 1/2" and 5/8" (12.7mm to 15.9mm). When the strike solenoid energizes, it releases the stainless steel keeper jaw, allowing the latchbolt to retract and the door to open without anyone operating the handle or latch. This makes it the right choice for access-controlled entry points where a credential reader, keypad, or remote release button controls door access. The basic strike lip is configured for a 1-3/4" thick door that closes flush with the jamb edge. For non-standard door thicknesses or jamb profiles where that relationship differs, lip extension kits are available separately. The strike case itself measures approximately 1" x 3-3/8" x 1-5/8" deep, and the strike opening is 5/8" x 1-7/16" x 1/2" deep. The full range of compatible electric strikes and accessories is available for comparison if your application needs a different faceplate size or jamb type.

Fail-safe vs fail-secure: which mode is right for your opening?

The 7130 ships assembled for either fail-secure or fail-safe operation, and it's field-convertible between the two without additional hardware. Fail-secure means the strike stays locked when power is removed, which is the correct mode for security-critical doors where unauthorized access during a power outage is the primary concern. Fail-safe means the strike releases when power is cut, which is required on life-safety egress doors where occupants must be able to exit freely under any condition. The choice is a code and occupancy question before it's a hardware question. Verify with your local AHJ whether the specific opening requires fail-safe operation. One important operational note: AC intermittent solenoids must not be run continuously in either mode. DC continuous units run silently; AC intermittent units produce an audible buzz during operation, which can matter in quiet office or healthcare environments. Voltage options cover 12V and 24V in both AC and DC configurations.

Retrofitting from an MS deadlock to a deadlatch with the 7130

Many commercial aluminum storefront doors were originally fitted with Adams Rite MS series pivoted-bolt deadlocks, which require a larger strike pocket in the jamb than a standard deadlatch strike. When those deadlocks are replaced with a 4500 or 4900 series deadlatch as part of an access control upgrade, the existing strike pocket is often too large for a standard-sized electric strike faceplate to cover. The 7130's 6-7/8" faceplate is explicitly designed for this scenario. It covers the full MS deadlock strike opening while housing the smaller electric strike mechanism, eliminating the need to re-prep or re-weld the aluminum frame. The 7130 also directly replaces the discontinued Adams Rite 7030, 7530, and 7830 electric strikes, making it the correct drop-in replacement for older installations. Each unit ships individually boxed with mounting screws, mounting clips, and adhesive shims to accommodate jamb or stile extrusion thicknesses greater or less than the nominal 1/8" standard. For the broader Adams Rite hardware ecosystem or to explore electronic hardware options for complete access control packages, both sections are available on this site.

The 7130 is a field-proven solution for aluminum door access control upgrades where faceplate coverage, fail-mode selectability, and compact jamb depth all matter in the same spec.
