Detex EAX-300 Gray Door Prop Alarm Surface Mount

Product Description

The DETEX EAX-300 GRAY is a surface-mount door prop alarm designed to alert building occupants and security personnel when a door is held open beyond an acceptable period. The unit runs on battery power, eliminating the need for hardwired electrical connections and making it practical for retrofits and locations where conduit runs are not feasible. The gray finish suits commercial and institutional door hardware installations. This type of device is typically installed by commercial locksmiths, security technicians, or general contractors managing access control and egress compliance.

The EAX-300 GRAY is intended for use on commercial doors where prop monitoring is required, including stairwell doors, warehouse exits, service entrances, and other controlled egress points. Surface mounting allows installation directly to the door face or frame without mortising or cutouts. Battery operation makes this unit particularly well suited for doors in areas without nearby electrical infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a commercial locksmith, security technician, or qualified contractor. Mount the unit to the door or frame per the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the sensing mechanism aligns correctly with the door position. No electrical power shutoff is required for battery-operated units, but confirm battery polarity before closing the housing. Installations on fire-rated doors or egress paths should comply with applicable local building and fire codes.
