  • Dummy Exit Devices
    • No internal latching mechanism
    • Used as a non-functional pull handle for doors that do not need to lock
  • Field Reversable Handed Options
  • Delayed Egress
    • Locking system designed to delay an unauthorized exit from a building for a short, predetermined time, typically 15 to 30 seconds.
    • Alarm sounds upon an exit attempt, but the door automatically unlocks in an emergency, such as a fire or power outage. 
  • Latch Bolt Monitoring
    • Use of sensors to verify the position of a door's latch bolt, confirming that it is fully engaged and the door is securely closed and locked.
    • This system integrates with access control or alarm systems to prevent false alarms and detect tampering or forced entry.
  • Fire Rating
    • PDQ exit devices deliver proven safety with UL listings, NFPA 80 compliance, and fire ratings up to 3 hours—offering the strength and reliability to match or exceed industry standards.
  • Tamper Proof Screws
  • Wind Rating
    • PDQ’s 6400V series exit devices are hurricane-rated with a +50/-50 psf pressure rating and proven impact resistance, meeting the toughest building codes for wind and debris zones.
  • Antimicrobial
    • Surface treatment designed to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. By incorporating an active agent, such as silver or copper ions, the coating provides continuous protection to promote hygiene and safety.  
  • Electric Latch
    • Locking device that uses an electric current to retract the latch bolt, allowing a door to be opened remotely or by an access control system. 
  • Alarm Box Integration
    • Connects a facility's fire or security systems with a central monitoring station or building management system. This linkage sends alerts and data to a single platform for faster, more centralized management and response.
