Detex EAX-500 Battery Powered Exit Alarm (Gray)
Got a back door that employees keep "forgetting" to use properly? The Detex EAX-500 Battery Powered Exit Alarm is the no-nonsense solution for unauthorized exit control. This 100dB door alarm mounts in minutes, runs on a single 9V battery, and screams loud enough to stop anyone mid-push. No wiring, no electrician, no excuses.
Why You Need It:
- 100dB Piezo Alarm: That's louder than a lawn mower. When this thing goes off, everyone in the building knows someone just used that door.
- Battery Powered (9V): No electrician needed. Swap the battery once a year and you're good. Perfect for retrofit jobs where running wire isn't in the budget.
- Tapered Housing Design: Fits narrow stile doors down to 2 inches. Aluminum storefronts? No problem.
- Auto-Sensing Handing: The smart circuit detects magnet placement automatically. Saves you 10 minutes of head-scratching during install.
- Tamper-Resistant Cover: Requires a key to access the battery and controls. Keeps employees from "accidentally" disabling it.
- UL-Classified Fire Door Accessory: Code compliant for fire-rated openings when properly installed.
