Exit button and backup power supply

Description

Every door with access control needs two things that are often forgotten: an easy way out and power that does not depend on the grid. The exit button goes on the inside, next to the door, and releases the lock with a single press. The emergency release, with a break-glass or flip cover, cuts power to the lock directly and serves as a backup on important exits.

The battery-backed power supply runs the lock and the reader, and when the power goes out it switches to the battery without the system shutting down. How long it lasts depends on the battery's capacity and how much the lock draws. In the DR, where power outages are frequent, this is what keeps a magnetic door from staying open or a reader from going dead.

We install these accessories on new systems and also on doors that already have access control and fail when the power goes out. We check the wiring and the condition of the existing battery.
