VON DUPRIN INTRODUCES
GUARD-X
EXIT ALARM LOCK
A new Series 2670 Exit Alarm Lock from Von Duprin provides
secure, alarmed code-compliant protection for
emergency exits. Called Guard-X, the new 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 helping reduce theft in restaurants, retail
establishments and similar facilities due to unauthorized
exit through emergency exit-only doors.
 GUARD-X is designed for new and existing construction.
It complements the existing Von Duprin Chexit® controlled exit device and ALK alarm kit by providing
a combination of alarm and deadbolt functions.
It 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 of an unauthorized
exit or attempted exit. A built-in flashing LED
shows at a glance that the device is armed. An
audible low-battery alert signals the owner to
replace the battery when necessary. An optional
external power supply allows Guard-X to be hardwired,
eliminating the need to change batteries. The
unit's battery then functions as a backup power
to operate the alarm if power fails or is tampered
with.
The Guard-X complies with
the NFPA 101® Life Safety Code.
It is UL305 Panic Exit Hardware certified for
use on Emergency Exit applications, and it meets
ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 Panic Hardware requirements.
It is available in US28
(aluminum), 315AN (black) and 313AN(duranodic
brown) finishes to more closely match the finish
of the opening. |
