Exit releases
Pushplates
The most rugged exit switches we know how to build, led by our most popular, the round-button H120. The front plate's travel, not the switch, takes the force of each press. ST models use a full-frame microswitch; PNZ models add our pneumatic time delay to hold the door unlocked for 1–60 seconds, with no power needed.
All timer pushplates are listed UL508 / CSA C22.2 No. 14-10 with MET Labs (file E113051).
