Alarm Controls Corporation DRC-4 Door Release Console

Product Description

The Alarm Controls Corporation DRC-4 is a door release console designed for access control applications requiring multiple release points. The unit features four normally open flush push buttons, allowing personnel to trigger electric door releases, strikes, or locking hardware from a single mounted panel. This type of console is typically installed by licensed electricians or security integrators as part of a broader access control or egress system. Its compact, panel-mount form factor suits both new construction and retrofit applications in commercial and light industrial environments.

The DRC-4 is well suited for corridors, lobbies, nurse stations, reception desks, and other locations where controlled door release is needed at a fixed station. The four-button layout supports multi-door or multi-zone release in a single enclosure, reducing wiring complexity and consolidating operator controls. Security integrators and low-voltage electricians commonly specify this console in facilities requiring ADA-compliant egress control or monitored access points.
