Detex EAX-300W Black Door Prop Alarm Surface Mount

Product Description

The DETEX EAX-300W BLACK is a surface-mount door prop alarm designed to alert personnel when a door is held open beyond an acceptable time threshold. The unit runs on battery power, eliminating the need for hardwired electrical connections at the door location. A weatherized construction makes it suitable for exterior and harsh-environment applications. This alarm is typically installed by commercial door hardware technicians, locksmiths, or security contractors on exit and access-controlled doors.

The EAX-300W BLACK is used in commercial, institutional, and light industrial settings where unauthorized door propping is a security or safety concern. Common applications include exit corridors, loading dock doors, stairwell doors, and perimeter access points. The black finish suits installations where aesthetics or color-matching to dark door hardware is required.

• Battery-powered operation eliminates the need for hardwired electrical supply at the door

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount door prop alarm suitable for commercial and institutional door applications where a standalone, battery-operated alert device is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by commercial door hardware technicians, locksmiths, or qualified security contractors. Secure the unit to the door surface per the manufacturer mounting instructions before connecting any alarm wiring or activating the battery. Verify that the door and frame are properly aligned so the magnetic or contact sensor actuates correctly when the door closes. Local fire and building codes may govern the placement and audible output requirements of door prop alarms on egress doors.
