Adams Rite 31-0945 Strike Plate Assembly for 8600 CVR Exit Devices

The Adams Rite 31-0945 Strike Plate Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement component engineered for use within the Adams Rite 8500, 8600, and 8675 Series Concealed Vertical Rod (CVR) exit devices. Maintaining a properly functioning strike plate is critical to reliable two-point latching performance — keeping egress hardware code-compliant and operationally secure in commercial, institutional, and light industrial door openings.

Referenced as component #17 in the Adams Rite 8600 CVR exploded parts diagram, the 31-0945 is the correct field-replacement strike plate assembly when the original shows wear, damage, or misalignment affecting latch engagement. Using an exact OEM part ensures proper fit without the risk of dimensional mismatch that can compromise latching or void fire-door listings.

What Is a CVR Exit Device Strike Plate?

On a Concealed Vertical Rod (CVR) exit device, the door latches at two points — a top bolt into the frame header and a bottom bolt into the floor or threshold. The strike plate assembly captures and receives the latch bolt, providing the secure engagement point at the frame or floor. A worn or damaged strike plate can cause failure to latch, misalignment, or noise — all signs that replacement is needed.
