Electrified Panic Devices for Access-Controlled Exits

Some exits need to do two things at once: allow free egress in an emergency and restrict entry from the outside. Electrified panic devices handle both without requiring two separate pieces of hardware.

How Electrified Panic Hardware Works

Electrified panic hardware connects to an access control system and can be triggered remotely to lock, unlock or monitor door status. The panic function always works regardless of the electrical state, which is a code requirement on most egress doors.

Electrified Panic Bars for Secure Perimeters

Our electrified panic bars are used on doors where you need to control who comes in while still guaranteeing that anyone can get out. Common in data centers, healthcare facilities, schools and government buildings.

Fail-Safe vs Fail-Secure

Electrified exit devices come in two electrical configurations. Fail-safe unlocks when power is cut, fail-secure stays locked. Which one you need depends on the door location, occupancy type and local code requirements.

Wiring and Integration

Most electrified panic devices require a power supply and proper wiring through the door frame. Confirm your access control system compatibility before ordering to avoid rework on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

The panic function handles egress from inside. The electrical part controls who can enter from outside. Two different functions in one piece of hardware.

Fail-safe unlocks when power is cut, fail-secure stays locked. Fire exits typically require fail-safe by code. Secure perimeter doors usually go fail-secure.

Yes, and wiring needs to pass through the door frame. Factor that into the installation plan before ordering.

No. Electrified panic devices are purpose-built units. The whole device needs to be replaced, not modified.

Schools, healthcare facilities, data centers and government buildings where entry needs to be controlled on doors that are also required egress exits.

Card readers, keypads and intercoms can all be paired with electrified panic devices to control entry from the outside.
