Storefront Locks
Aluminum storefront glass doors have narrow stiles (the metal frame around the glass), so standard locks will not fit. The storefront locks in this category are made for narrow stile doors: keyless keypad and pushbutton locks, narrow stile deadbolts, hook bolts, deadlatches, exit trim and paddle handles.
Brands include Adams Rite, General Lock, Alarm Lock Trilogy, Lockey, EASILOK and Dormakaba.
How to Choose
- Backset: measure from the edge of the door to the center of the existing cylinder or lock. Narrow stile backsets are typically between 7/8" and 1-1/2".
- Keyless or keyed: keypad and pushbutton storefront locks remove the need to issue keys to staff.
- Existing hardware: many keyless storefront locks work with an existing narrow stile deadlatch or deadbolt; check each product's compatibility notes.
