    Alarmed Push Bars for Emergency Exits

    An alarm sounds when these push bars are pushed to open doors. Often used on emergency exits, they require a lock cylinder (sold separately) to arm and disarm the alarm. You can mount an additional lock cylinder on the exterior of the door to use as a door lock.
    Push bars have a latch that automatically locks the door when it is closed, as well as a bolt that locks when the alarm is armed. Latch bolt projection is the length the latch bolt extends from the door's edge.

    Smart Magnetic Contact Alarm Switches

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Magnetic Switches. Smart Magnetic Contact Alarm Switches.
    Use a free, downloadable app with these switches to automate alarms in your facility, such as sounding a buzzer if a trailer door is opened after a certain time. These switches link to your Wi-Fi network and push notifications to your smartphone. They have two parts: a magnet and a sensor. Mount each part to a surface—for instance, the magnet to a door and the sensor to the door frame—and the switch will send a signal when the magnet is pulled away.

    Connection

    Prevent unauthorized use of doors or windows with a combination of coded magnets and contacts that wire to an alarm system. The coded magnets mean they can’t be bypassed with regular magnets. These switches actuate when the magnet comes within sensing distance of the switch and reset when the magnet moves away. Mount the magnet to your door or window and the switch to the frame. Connect the switch contacts to an alarm system, which will trigger when the magnet is pulled away as your door or window is opened.
    Flush Mount—Flush-mount switches are designed to mount against the door jam. They have a cord grip to reduce strain on your cord.
    Surface Mount—Surface-mount switches mount on the surface of your door.
    Conduit Trade Size 1/2—Switches with a 1/2 conduit connection are ready to directly attach to your conduit.
