Detex ECL-230X-TDB IC7R Alarmed Deadbolt Panic Hardware

Product Description

The DETEX ECL-230X-TDB IC7R is an alarmed deadbolt panic hardware device designed for single-door egress applications requiring both security and life-safety compliance. It provides a three-point locking configuration with a top bolt, bottom bolt, and deadbolt that engage simultaneously for robust door security. The unit incorporates an interchangeable core rim cylinder housing, allowing facility managers and locksmiths to rekey the device without full cylinder replacement. A built-in alarm activates on unauthorized egress, making this hardware appropriate for commercial and institutional door assemblies where monitored exit control is required.

This hardware is intended for commercial doors in applications such as schools, hospitals, government facilities, warehouses, and retail locations where controlled egress and intrusion deterrence are both priorities. The three-point bolt engagement is particularly suited to hollow metal or solid-core doors that require positive multi-point latching to prevent door warping or forced-entry bypass. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and security contractors typically specify and install this type of device.

Key Features

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with life-safety egress requirements. Before installation or service, disconnect any door alarm wiring and ensure the door is fully closed and secured. Verify compliance with applicable local building codes, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and ADA egress requirements prior to commissioning. Do not defeat or bypass the alarm function during normal operation.
