Exterior Door Electrified Exit Device Application
Secure your building's primary access points with our Exterior Door Electrified Exit Device Applications. Engineered for durability and high-frequency use, these configurations pair weather-resistant electrified exit hardware with ruggedized exterior keypads or card readers. This setup allows for secure, credentialed entry from the outside while ensuring a code-compliant mechanical exit from within—making it the ideal solution for main entrances, employee side-doors, and gated courtyard access.
System Operation:
This application provides high-security perimeter control by managing exterior access while maintaining a fail-secure state during power loss .
- Door normally closed and locked by electric latch retraction exit device.
- Door released on exterior side by remote switch (card reader, keypad)
- Door released on interior side by exit device.
- The electric latch retraction provides remote latchbolt retracting ability.
Operations Summary:
- Secured State: The door is physically locked from the exterior (or "unprotected") side. The latch is extended, and the exterior lever is rigid.
- Authorized Entry: A user presents a valid badge to the card reader or enters a code into the keypad.
- Hardware Release: The system sends power to the electrified exit device or exit trim. This "unlocks" the lever, allowing the user to turn it and retract the latch manually.
- Relatching: Once the door closes and the access control timer expires, the exterior lever returns to its locked state.
- Free Egress: Occupants exiting the room simply press the push bar. The latch retracts mechanically, providing an immediate exit regardless of the building's electrical status.
- Fail-Secure Security: In the event of a power outage, the exterior side remains locked (fail-secure), while the interior remains free for exit.
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.
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.
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.
