Secure secondary commercial exits while maintaining immediate emergency egress with the Detex ECL-230D. This heavy-duty, black-finish, short-paddle exit control lock combines a saw-resistant single-point 1-inch throw deadbolt, a loud 100 dB battery-operated alarm, and a highly visible photoluminescent English push-plate sign. Ideal for loss prevention in retail, stockrooms, warehouses, distribution centers and commercial or institutional buildings.
Additional Product Specifications and Ordering Guidance
Exit-Control Lock, Alarm and Keying Selection
Detex ECL exit-control locks combine a mechanical locking function with specified alarm or security-control features. The correct ECL-230D, ECL-230X, weatherized or ECL-600 configuration must be selected for the original opening and manufacturer-approved latch/strike mounting arrangement.
Factory item on this listing: DTX-ECL-230D-BLACK.
Product Selection and Installation Checklist
- Identify the exact ECL series and confirm whether the assembly uses a deadbolt, long-bar, multiple locking points or a specified fire-rated configuration.
- Check mounted door width, stile/face clearance, strike locations, compatible door/frame and the factory black/gray finish.
- Determine the required cylinder, keys, battery or power source, key override, alarm arming and reset methods.
- For weatherized, delayed-egress or fire-exit applications, verify the manufacturer-approved model and full assembly listing rather than relying on common cover dimensions.
Acceptance and Service Verification
Confirm authorized access, alarm activation, lock engagement, interior release, key override/reset and the approved emergency-egress behavior.
Factory Package and Related Components
One ECL lock assembly as specified by its SKU. Extra trim, keys, strike accessories, controllers and installation are separate unless listed in the factory kit. Consult the original model specifications below when matching the factory SKU to an existing opening.
This listing is for the ECL-230D BLACK standard short-bar model. A compatible 5- to 7-pin rim cylinder is required but sold separately. The separate ECL-230D-PH is the long-bar configuration; the ECL-600 is the applicable Detex fire-exit-hardware series for appropriately rated doors.
Key Features and Benefits
- 100 dB audible alarm: Alerts occupants and facility staff when a controlled secondary exit is operated without authorization.
- 1-inch throw, saw-resistant deadbolt: Rugged single-point exit locking for demanding commercial openings.
- Heavy-duty security: Manufacturer describes attack resistance of over 2,200 lb of outside pull force.
- 9-volt battery operation: Battery included; no external electrical transformer or line-voltage wiring required for the onboard alarm.
- Alarm and lock coordination: Locking and unlocking the deadbolt automatically arms and disarms the alarm.
- Key-controlled alarm reset: Reset requires an appropriate control key.
- Photoluminescent push plate: Absorbs ambient light to help maintain visibility when surrounding light levels drop.
- Non-handed: Designed for compatible left-hand or right-hand doors.
- Rim-cylinder flexibility: Accommodates compatible 5-, 6- or 7-pin standard and interchangeable-core rim cylinders. Cylinder not included.
- Commercial panic hardware: ECL-230D series is UL-listed panic hardware; confirm suitability with the complete opening and applicable local codes.
