Introduction / Tools and Materials Needed / Contact Info
Introduction:
The KC9232/KC9232-2 and KC9233/KC9233-2 are designed to replace existing
exterior cylinders or trim on Adams Rite® deadlatches. The trim will retract the
deadbolt or latch when an access code or iButton is entered and the knob is turned.
Mechanical key override is standard. The trim is compatible with interior devices
such as a thumbturn or mortise cylinder. Adams Rite® deadbolt accessories 4015
threshold bolt and 4016 header bolt are also compatible with these models of the
KC9000 series trim. With existing or new Adams Rite® trim on the inside the
‘hold back’ feature is still possible for a continued unlatched function (see Adams
Rite® instructions where applicable). An Audit Trail feature is available on the
KC9232-2 and the KC9233-2 models.
The KC9232/KC9232-2 (trim w/knob & MS Cam interface) is compatible
with Adams Rite®MS1850, MS1850-050, MS1950, 4070 Deadbolts, 4710
Deadlatch locks and 8400 mortise exit devices.
The KC9233/KC9233-2 (trim w/knob and 4070 Cam interface) is compatible
with Adams Rite®4070 Short Throw Deadbolt.

For factory prepped doors, use dimensions
shown. Dimensions are referenced from center
of 1-1/4” cylinder hole. Backset is determined
by the Adams Rite® lock.
When installing new Adams Rite® locks, do
not install outside cylinder because this trim
replaces it. Do not install face plate at this time
because access to the cylinder set screw in the
lock will be required during installation.

to have dead latch (a) placed out of the way when
installing the key cylinder. Therefore...
• Using your finger or a pair of needle-nose
pliers, push dead latch towards the top end
of trim as indicated by arrow in photo.
NOTE: As indicated by arrow in photo, you’ll notice
that when you push the dead latch forward, it will
swing a little bit in a counterclockwise direction.

• Insert a finger into key cylinder hole and
hold dead latch firmly in place.
• Carefully turn the trim over while keep-
ing the dead latch in position.
Two holes on dead latch (a) should be showing
within the two holes (b) in baseplate.

IMPORTANT: A .050” cylinder washer must be used IN ALL CASES,
regardless of the key cylinder length.
• If you are installing a cylinder that is longer than 1-1/8”, you
must also install a blocking ring (see Table 1: Blocking
Rings, on page 8).
A simple formula for determining blocking ring thickness is:
Blocking ring thickness = length of cylinder minus 1-1/8”
• If not already done, install cam onto cylinder. Cam must be clo-
ver leaf design (see Table 2: Recommended Cams, on page 8).
• Tilt top of trim down at a sharp angle.
• Screw in key cylinder until it stops. Use mechanical key as a han-
dle for turning if necessary.

IMPORTANT: At this time, outer end of set screw should
be a little bit below the surface of the baseplate, as shown in
photo A. If you have turned in set screw as far as it will go
and it is protruding beyond the surface of baseplate, as
shown in photo B, the most probable cause is that dead
latch was not positioned properly (see Position the Dead
Latch’s Set Screw Hole: on page 10).
If you have turned the set screw in as far as it will go and it is
p
rotruding from the surface of the baseplate, do the following:
• Turn set screw back out so that about 1/4” is pro-
truding from surface of baseplate.
• Reposition critical edge on dead latch according to
the instructions on page 10).
• Turn set screw in until it just hits the stop.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten set screw because the
baseplate may start to bow outward resulting in a gap
between trim and door when trim is mounted.

57041-D Page 19 04-11-2007
Testing the KC9232/KC9232-2 or KC9233/KC9233-2
Testing:
1. Knob should rotate freely.
2. Insert key into cylinder and rotate knob in direction required to retract latch.
> Direction of knob rotation depends on door hand - if it doesn’t work in one direction, try
the other.
> You should be able to lock and unlock the deadbolt.
> For 4710 deadlatches, you should be able to retract the latch.
3. Rotate key back to original position and remove it.
> Knob should rotate freely and not retract the deadbolt/latch.
4. Using the keypad, enter the default access code: 1 3 5 7 9.
> The red LED should light each time the first four numbers are pressed and when the 9 is
pressed, the green LED should flash for five seconds.
> While the green light is flashing, the knob should be engaged and you should be able to
lock or unlock the deadlatch.
5. Test inside cylinder or thumbturn (for 4710/4730/8400 models: paddle/exit device, etc.) to insure that
it is operating properly.

Operational Recommendations / Dimensions
57041-D Page 20 04-11-2007
Operational Re commen dations / Dim ensions
Operational Recommendations:
The models with a knob operate the deadbolt much like a key, therefore more time to operate the dead-
bolt/latch might be desired. See programming guide to change the relock time delay to a longer time.
The Adams Rite® 4710 can be operated by the knob to achieve the ‘hold back’ condition where the latch
is held in the unlatched position for passage mode. To do this, enter a code/iButton, push the latch all the
way in and rotate the knob (counterclockwise if the latch is to your left or clockwise if the latch is to your
right). When you feel a little resistance, turn a little harder. This will move a part to keep the latch from
springing out. To reverse the condition and release the latch, enter a code/iButton again and turn the knob
(clockwise if the latch is to your left and counterclockwise if the latch is to your right). This will move the
part out of the way and release the latch.
Dimensions:
