Access Control Push Exit Release Button Switch

Product Description

A Push Exit Release Button Switch (often called a push-to-exit or request-to-exit button) is a manual door exit switch used with access control systems (biometric readers, card readers, electric locks/maglocks). Pressing the button sends a signal to the access controller or unlocks the electric lock so someone can exit a secured area quickly and easily. 

These are standard accessories in commercial, office, apartment, school, industrial, and retail environments. 

How It Works

• The switch is wired to the access controller’s exit input or directly to the door lock circuit.

• When pressed, it completes a circuit (momentary contact) triggering the controller to release the door (e.g., deactivate maglock or electric strike).

• It usually uses NO (Normally Open) / COM / sometimes NC contacts for flexibility.
