Product Overview

Function

Flexibility of traffic control and installation is offered by the 4900 Series Deadlatches. A reverse turn of the key while bolt is held retracted retains the bolt, to allow two-way traffic for applications which require free entrance at certain times and exit-only at other times. Interchangeable, without stile modification, with any MS1850A or MS1850S deadbolt of same backset and faceplate shape. Also retrofits to existing 4500/4700 Deadlatch preparations. 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness required.

Operation

Turn key or operate handle or paddle to retract spring-loaded latch bolt. To hold bolt retracted, push it in and secure by reverse turn of key (see back page). Uses any standard mortise cylinder with MS® cam.
