Detex EAX300GRY Surface Mount Door Prop Alarm 100 Db

Product Description

The DETEX EAX300GRY is a surface-mount, battery-powered door prop alarm designed for commercial and institutional door monitoring applications. It produces a 100 dB alarm tone when a door is held open beyond an acceptable dwell time, alerting occupants and staff to an unsecured egress point. The unit ships in a gray finish and includes internal magnetic door contacts and a back box, making it a self-contained solution that requires no external wiring to a central panel. Installation is handled by security or door hardware technicians. The compact housing measures 11.6 inches long by 4.8 inches wide by 3 inches deep and weighs 1.6 pounds.

The EAX300GRY is suited for surface mounting on single-swing doors in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and any application where unauthorized door propping is a concern. Because it is battery powered, it can be deployed on doors where running conduit or low-voltage wiring is not practical. The internal magnetic contact assembly eliminates the need for separate door contact hardware, reducing parts count and simplifying the install. The gray finish blends with standard hollow-metal door frames commonly found in commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed security technician or qualified door hardware installer. Before mounting, confirm the door frame material and thickness are compatible with the back box fastener requirements. Battery installation and alarm testing should be completed before the door is returned to service. Verify local fire and life safety code requirements, including any applicable IBC or authority-having-jurisdiction provisions, before final commissioning.
