Phoenix, Ariz., (August 31, 2026) – Adams Rite, an ASSA ABLOY Group company and leader in narrow stile aluminium hardware solutions, announces enhancements to the 4300 Steel Hawk® Electrified Deadlatch, making it easier than ever to bring electronic access control to existing openings while improving performance on doors affected by sag, misalignment, and everyday wear.
The enhanced 4300 Steel Hawk features a redesigned latch assembly, along with internal improvements engineered to reduce opening force and support reliable operation in less-than-ideal door conditions. These updates help maintain smooth functionality and dependable security performance without requiring costly door or frame replacement.
"Commercial doors rarely remain in perfect alignment throughout their lifecycle," said Julia Kamody, Product Manager. "The enhanced 4300 Steel Hawk was designed to accommodate the realities of aging storefront openings while providing the reliability, security, and retrofit simplicity our customers expect."
As part of Adams Rite's ongoing commitment to innovation, the 4300 Steel Hawk helps security integrators, locksmiths, and facility managers modernize existing storefront openings while extending door life and improving security performance. Whether addressing misaligned doors or converting mechanical openings to electronic access control, the 4300 delivers a practical, cost-effective upgrade path for today's commercial facilities.
