The Adams Rite 31-0265-IP Dogging Assembly is a genuine replacement dogging mechanism designed for compatible Adams Rite 8000 Series exit devices. This complete assembly restores the mechanical dogging function used to hold the exit device push bar in the retracted position during normal business hours, allowing authorized openings to remain unlatched when appropriate. It is an ideal replacement part for service, repair, and maintenance of Adams Rite commercial panic and exit hardware.

“Dogging” refers to holding the push bar of an exit device in the depressed position so the latch mechanism remains retracted. On compatible non-fire-rated openings, this can allow easier traffic flow during normal operating hours while reducing repeated latch operation.

The Adams Rite 31-0265-IP dogging kit provides the mechanical assembly required for this function on compatible Adams Rite exit devices and is commonly used as a service replacement when the existing dogging mechanism becomes worn or damaged.

Verify the exact Adams Rite exit device series before ordering. The 31-0265-IP is used across multiple 8000 Series devices, but exit-device configuration and fire-rating requirements should always be confirmed before replacing or using a dogging component. Mechanical dogging is generally not used on fire-rated exit devices where the latch must remain active.
