Weatherized model — designed for exterior doors exposed to rain, snow, humidity, and temperature extremes. Sealed components prevent corrosion and alarm circuit failure.

Pro-Installer FAQ
Can this device be cut down for narrower doors?
Yes, the pushbar can be field-cut for doors narrower than standard width. Measure carefully and cut from the hinge end only. The lock stile end must remain factory length for proper strike engagement.
How loud is the alarm?
The exit alarm produces approximately 100dB at 3 feet — comparable to a car horn. Loud enough to deter and alert without causing hearing damage for brief exposure.
Does Detex cover this under warranty?
Detex provides a limited lifetime warranty on mechanical components and 3 years on electronic components. This covers manufacturing defects — not field damage or improper installation.
