Q: what is a dogging key used for
A: In the event you want to temporarily unlock, and leave is an unlocked state, an exit device, a dogging key is used to keep the latch bolt retracted on an exit device allowing the door to be unlatched. You use the dogging ket to reset the latchbolt allowing the door be again be latched to the frame.
A typical scenario for this is where you have a a auto repair shop. When the manager arrives to work in the morning, the manager may dog the exit device open (unlatched) allowing clients to freely enter the customer service entrance door, until the end of the day when the manager leaves for the night, re-dogging the device and therefore relocking the device. Dogging a device unlocked also works to significantly reduce the "wear and tear" typical on a device through normal usage.

Q: Can you provide, and/or does anyone manufacture a 9/64" hex dogging key similar to the 1/8” or 5/32” dogging key? I am trying to supply a local fire department with 9/64" hex wrench they can hang on a key ring to use to open/reset fire alarm manual pull stations. Ideally I need a hex wrench with loop on it.
A: I do not have any hex dog and keys that you can put onto a key ring in that size in the closest we get to would be 5/32” seconds which is very close but of course not the same.
I have quoted custom hex dog and keys in the past but i found the minimum quantity piece required was well over a thousand pieces.
I am sorry but in this case we are not able to help.
Q: I have Adam Rite hardware on my doors, but the dogging key is clearly 3/32, not 5/32 or 1/8, the only two options I can find. Is there somewhere to get 3/32 dogging keys?
A: What Adams Rite hardware do you have on your door? An exit device?
