Alarm Controls Corporation PBM-1 Emergency Push Button

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION PBM-1 is an emergency push button mounted on a stainless steel plate, designed for access control and egress applications. The red button provides a highly visible, tactile activation point for emergency exit or door release functions. This type of device is commonly wired into access control panels, electric strikes, or magnetic locks to allow immediate egress when pressed. Licensed electricians and security system technicians are the primary trades responsible for installation and commissioning of this hardware.

The PBM-1 is suited for commercial and institutional environments where a dedicated, clearly marked emergency release point is required. Typical install scenarios include stairwell doors, controlled-access corridors, server rooms, and any door secured by an electrified lock that must allow free egress in an emergency. The stainless steel plate provides a durable, clean-finish surface appropriate for high-traffic or institutional settings.
