They are mostly installed on escape doors for emergencies and can be controlled with a single operation so that people can exit the building faster.

The main purpose of exit alarms is to inform you whenever there is someone exiting through a door illegally. Having exit alarms especially on emergency doors, prevents their misuse. By installing this device on your door, you can reduce the risk of theft because if the door is opened, a warning alarm will be emitted by an electronic exit stopper. The alarm can only be silenced by the keyholder of the door.
