About Exit Buttons
Push to exit buttons, door release buttons and touch-free request to exit devices for access-controlled doors. Choose surface or flush mounting, plastic or stainless steel, dome and vandal-resistant styles, or infrared no-touch sensors, from RGL, CDVI, 3E, Elmdene, Hikvision and others.
Choosing an exit button
- Style: a standard push button suits most internal doors; vandal-resistant and IP-rated versions suit exposed or external positions.
- Touch-free: infrared sensors avoid contact and are often specified where hygiene matters.
- Wiring: most buttons provide a momentary volt-free contact wired to the controller or lock supply; check the contact rating on the data sheet.
Exit button FAQs
Do I need an exit device on an access-controlled door?
Yes. A reader controls entry only, so a means of exit without a credential is needed. This is usually an exit button, with an emergency door release added on escape routes in line with the building fire strategy.
Which locks work with an exit button?
Exit buttons work with maglocks and electric strikes alike. Fail-safe locks such as maglocks release when power is removed, whereas fail-secure locks stay locked without power, so plan for exit in a power failure.
What else do I need?
A controller and reader from access control, plus a suitable power supply.
