Push Buttons & Egress Devices
Frequently Asked Questions
What are push buttons and egress devices?
These are electronic release controls that allow safe exit or door unlocking in access control systems. At National Lock Supply, we carry push-to-exit buttons, request-to-exit devices, and touch-sensitive egress bars.
How do they compare to panic devices?
Panic hardware mechanically unlatches the door with a bar push. Push buttons and egress devices send an electronic signal to release electrified hardware like maglocks or strikes.
What types are available?
Mushroom push buttons, stainless steel push plates, REX motion sensors, and illuminated request-to-exit devices.
Where are they commonly used?
In offices, labs, hospitals, and secured commercial areas controlled by access systems.
Are push buttons ADA compliant?
Yes, large push plates and no-touch sensors meet ADA/ICC accessibility standards, allowing operation without tight grasping.
What power do they require?
Most operate on 12V or 24V DC low voltage, integrated with access control power supplies.
Are they UL listed?
Yes, many are UL-certified for fire and safety use, especially on exit doors.
Can they be tied into alarms?
Yes, request-to-exit devices can be wired into fire alarms, intrusion systems, and access panels for monitoring.
What finishes and styles are available?
Brushed Stainless, Aluminum, and Black housings, with options for illuminated or engraved plates.
