Hes 18104155 Concealed Vertical Rod Electric Exit Device

Product Description

The HANCHETT ENTRY SYSTEMS / HES 18104155 is a concealed vertical rod electric exit device designed for controlled egress on commercial doors. It combines a mechanical panic exit function with electric strike or latch retraction capability, allowing access control integration on paired or single active door leaves. Concealed vertical rods keep the hardware hidden within the door itself, maintaining a clean appearance while meeting life-safety code requirements. This type of device is typically installed by certified locksmiths, door hardware specialists, or security integrators working on commercial or institutional projects.

Concealed vertical rod electric exit devices are used on aluminum or hollow metal double doors in commercial, institutional, and high-traffic facilities such as schools, hospitals, office buildings, and government facilities. The electric function enables the device to be tied into access control panels, keypad systems, or fire alarm release circuits. This makes the 18104155 appropriate for openings that require both panic hardware compliance and electronic access management on the secure side of the door.
