Adams Rite Replacement Trip Wires

Adams Rite Trip Wires -2

Frozen tumblers? Seized plug? No Problem! Peterson’s Adams-Rite Latch Trip Wires go right through the keyway and retract the latch with the greatest of ease. No picking; no wrenching! One turn duplicates the action of the cylinder tailpiece, making the lock’s design work for you. Made from the highest grade steel available, these wires are thin enough to fit through the tightest keyway and strong enough to hold their shape, trip after trip. Wire set contains two professional grade Adams-Rite trip wires.

The tools with black composite handles are what we call our Adams Rite Trip Wire. We use the trip wire to enter the keyway and initiate the withdrawal of the locks latch. This initiation actually unlocks the deadlocking feature of the 4700 series lock.  Now, if the wire can continue to rotate, you will pull the latch back opening the door. If however, the door is in a slight of severe bind, the wire will release the deadlocking feature allowing the (Adams Rite) Slim Jim (*not included) to move behind the latch, pushing the latch back and opening the door lock. The Adams Rite Slim Jim is also very useful when there is a latch guard covering the latch.
