GUARD-X provides secure, alarmed
code-compliant protection for secondary exits. GUARD-X exit alarm lock
readily identifies the door on which it is mounted as an emergency exit
and secures the opening against unauthorized use. It is ideal for
deterring theft in restaurants and retail establishments such as:
discount stores, grocery stores, drug stores, clothing stores and
sporting goods stores.
Heavy Duty Design
The new Series 2670 Exit Alarm Lock provides secure protection through a
large stainless steel deadbolt, which is 2" x 1/2" (51mm x 13mm) and has
over a 3/4" (19mm) throw. The engagement area into the strike is over 1
1/4" (32mm) square inches. The cast aluminum latch case protects the
internal mechanism and resists tampering or vandalism from inside the
door. This unit has been tested to withstand up to 1600 pounds of static
load force against the door.
Security
GUARD-X does not allow relatching or resetting the alarm after an
unauthorized exit, other than by an authorized person with a key. A
100-decibel alarm provides a clear, attention getting warning for an
unauthorized exit or attempted exit. The armed indicator light informs
the owner that the alarm is armed, and an audible low-battery alert
signals the owner to replace the battery when necessary.
Compliance
GUARD-X complies with the NFPA 101® Life Safety Code "the actuating
portion of which extends across at least one half of the door leaf". It
is UL listed for Panic Exit Hardware (UL305) including "the ends of the
crossbar or push pad shall curve, guard, or otherwise designed to
prevent catching on the clothing of persons during exit" for use on
Emergency Exit applications, and tested in accordance to ANSI A156.3
Grade 1 Panic Hardware (250,000 cycles).
Installation takes just a few minutes with an
easy-to-use adhesive back template. The product's non handed design
means the installer can mount it for either hand by just removing and
reversing the "Emergency Exit -Alarm Will Sound" sign built into the
device. The standard warning sign is in English with Braille; French and
Spanish are available.
