    Alarm Controls: Essential Access Control Solutions

    Access control is more than just a card reader; it's the power, the buttons, and the sirens that make the system functional. Alarm Controls (an ASSA ABLOY brand) specializes in the "system accessories" that locksmiths and integrators need to finish the job. From the iconic TS-2 Request-to-Exit buttons to localized power supplies, Alarm Controls hardware is built for durability and ease of installation.

    We stock a massive variety of Push Buttons, Key Switches, and Magnetic Locks. Whether you need a waterproof "Mushroom" exit button for a harsh environment or a specialized delayed egress timer, Alarm Controls provides the cost-effective, reliable components that tie your security system together. Their 600lb and 1200lb magnetic locks are some of the most trusted in the business for interior office security.

    PRO TIP: Pneumatic vs. Electronic Timers

    When installing a "Request-to-Exit" button, many codes require the door to stay unlocked for a set period (usually 30 seconds). Alarm Controls offers Pneumatic Timers (like the TS-2T) which require no power to stay active once pressed. This is a life-saver for backup egress because even if the power fails, the mechanical timer ensures the door releases for the required duration.

    Every Alarm Controls component ships brand new from our warehouses across America. In-stock orders placed before 2 PM EST ship same-day.

    Alarm Controls FAQ

    What is the difference between a "Momentary" and "Maintained" exit button?

    A momentary button sends a pulse signal only while being pressed. A maintained button stays in the "on" position until pressed again. Most access control systems use momentary contacts.

    Can I use an Alarm Controls maglock on an exterior door?

    Yes, but ensure you select a model rated for outdoor use. The 1200LB models with potted electronics are suitable for exterior applications where weather exposure is a concern.

    Do I need a separate power supply for the magnetic lock?

    Yes. Magnetic locks require a dedicated 12VDC or 24VDC power supply. We recommend using a power supply with battery backup to maintain security during power outages.
