SecureMyDoor Resettable Call Point with No Glass to Break | Emergency Break Glass for Indoor Use | Fire Alarm Button Switch for Easy Access Control | Ideal for Commercial & Residential Buildings

Perfect

Over time the terminals get jammed and can either keep the door locked when it is pressed or keep it unlocked after being reset. it works well and is easy to reset with the reset key.

I don’t know how well this emergency door release works or how reliable it is. It might be the best money can buy and last for ever and a day. However, an emergency door release might not be used for many years but you still have to have the confidence in it to work as it should do when needed. And I’m sorry, but I don’t have that confidence. Traditionally, emergency door release buttons are red. Being green was the first thing that put me off. Secondly it’s plastic, red ones tend to be metal. Red ones have glass to break. This one, on pressing here makes a plasticy noise and releases an orange shutter. This needs resetting with a specialised key. Who knows where that’ll be in five years when it’s needed? If the glass breaks in a red one a replacement glass is easy to come by. To my mind, and I could easily be wrong, pranksters would think twice about breaking glass whereas they might well press a non glass one to see how/if it works. This green one is expensive, in some cases twice as much as a red one with the glass panel.I would like to point out that this is my personal opinion, it’s the way I feel about this emergency door button. If this green emergency door opener instils the same confidence in prospective buyers that a red one instils in me then, fine, go for it.

Well made durable and no glass.

Good

Did the job.

This is a well featured, sturdy and well constructed alternative to emergency break glass door release switches. It allows for the simultaneous cutting of power to maglocks and provision of power to alarms, making it suitable for those areas where security is also an issue - for example, where a door from a public area leads to a private one.The absence of a flip up cover, while convenient in a staff-only environment, might prove problematic in public areas; I worked in a museum popular with children, and little fingers do love pressing buttons.As others have mentioned, I found it impossible to use the reset key initially - pushing it in perfectly perpendicularly to the holes did nothing. However, if you tilt it a matter of barely two degrees or so it works fine. It just means that you might get the occasional security guard calling you to say it won't reset; simply tell them you want to see them wiggle it, just a little bit.

This emergency door release button seems well designed. It consists of the front section with the mechanical switch and latch mechanism, a central section with the electrical switch and a pattress box behind. Removing the front cover alone doesn't expose any electrical wiring.Good points:- Contains a DPDT switch, so two independent circuits both with COM, N-O and N-C. The example in the manual shows wiring whereby pressing the release button would both turn the door lock off, and turn an alarm on. Equally it could turn two separate door locks off on different circuits. As all terminals are exposed it adds flexibility to the needed situation.- Mounting screws are hidden behind the front cover, so needs an Allen key to remove. Once the front section is removed the centre section is revealed which have mounting holes for screws to fit to pattress box. All keys/screws are included in the package.- Will mount to a standard UK wall box if needed.- Once tripped, the switch drops a yellow indicator and cannot be easily reset.- Doesn't need replacement glass, so it can be used over again without extra cost.Minor bad points:- The button is fairly easy to press, a liftable cover might help precent accidentally tripping the switch (manual says a hinged cover is available, but optional).- Once tripped, switch is reset by means of a little plastic key. Resetting is a fairly fiddly process needing to get the key in the exactly correct angle, and I can see the key getting lost over time. However if this happens the switch can be reset by removing the front cover and manipulating the plastic mechanism behind. May have been better to just allow resetting with a screwdriver or some common tool.Package contains everything needed:- Switch and pattress box (all green)- M3.5 screws- Allen key- Plastic reset key- Instruction sheet with a couple of wiring examples
