Interior Door Request to Exit (REX) Electrified Exit Device Application
Secure your facility’s sensitive interior zones with our Interior Door Request to Exit Electrified Exit Device Applications. This configuration integrates a high-performance electrified panic bar with an internal Request to Exit (REX) switch and your choice of a keypad, card reader, or PIR sensor. By monitoring the movement of the interior push bar, this system distinguishes between authorized exits and security breaches, providing facility managers with a comprehensive audit trail and eliminating "door forced" false alarms in high-security environments.
System Operation:
This application uses integrated electronics to manage authorized entry and monitor interior egress for security logging.
- The door is normally closed and latched.
- Free egress is permitted at all times.
- Door opened from exterior by authorized person on interior depressing the remote switch that activates latch retraction.
- Door can be opened manually from exterior by key entry in device trim.
System Summary:
- Secured State: The door is locked from the exterior. The electrified exit device is fully latched, securing the restricted area.
- Authorized Entry: A user presents a valid credential to the card reader, enters a code on the keypad, or is detected by a PIR sensor (if used for entry).
- Hardware Activation: The system unlocks the exterior lever trim or retracts the latch, allowing the user to enter.
- Egress Monitoring (REX): When an occupant exits, pressing the mechanical push bar triggers an internal microswitch.
- Signal Logic: The REX switch notifies the access control system that the exit is valid. This "shunts" the alarm, so the system knows the door was opened from the inside rather than being forced from the outside.
- Code Compliance: The interior push bar always provides a mechanical release for the latch, ensuring immediate egress even during a power failure or system error.
Electrified Exit Devices & Outside Trims
Beyond standard Request to Exit (REX) signaling, our electrified hardware offers advanced monitoring and control options for any architectural opening. Latchbolt Monitoring and Signal Switches provide real-time feedback on door status, while [link] Motorized Electric Latch Retraction (MELR) and Electric Dogging allow for seamless integration with automatic operators and high-traffic scheduling. For entry control, our Electrified Outside Exit Trims provide a secure, brand-specific way to manage exterior access without replacing the entire device. For high-security environments, Delayed Egress functionality deters unauthorized exit without compromising life-safety codes. Each of these configurations is available with Windstorm and Hurricane certification, ensuring the technical specifications and mounting hardware meet the most rigorous coastal building requirements.
Power Supplies & Power Transfer
Ensure your electrified hardware never misses a beat with our Securitron BPS and PSP power supplies, which deliver clean, filtered power to your access control system. To protect critical wiring from damage or tampering, we offer a full range of power transfer solutions, including concealed electric hinges, EPTs, and heavy-duty armored door loops.
Readers, Keypads & Egress Sensors
Control who enters and how they exit. This section includes Securitron DK-26 keypads, proximity readers, and high-accuracy XMS2 motion sensors. In 2026, we prioritize "No-Touch" technology, featuring Alarm Controls wave-to-open sensors that trigger both the lock release and the door operator for a completely sanitary, hands-free experience.
ElectroLynx® Accessories
To eliminate the risk of field-wiring errors, McKinney ElectroLynx® accessories offer a plug-and-play system. This section includes cable harnesses, crimpers, and connectors that allow for snap-together installation, significantly reducing labor costs and ensuring a fail-safe connection between the power source and the hardware.
