Detex ECL-600 Fire-Rated Alarmed Exit Control Lock | Black or Gray | Long Bar | 100 dB Exit Alarm

Protect commercial fire-exit openings while maintaining positive relatching with the Detex ECL-600, a rugged Warnock Hersey-listed fire-exit control lock featuring a long push bar, a 100-decibel audible alarm, a 1-inch saw-resistant deadbolt, and a 3/4-inch deadlocking latchbolt. Choose the Black or Gray factory finish to coordinate with compatible 36- to 48-inch-wide exit doors in retail, industrial, commercial, institutional and warehouse facilities.

Choose Black or Gray. Both finishes ship without the operating rim cylinder. It includes the factory cover lock with two keys, a 9V alarm battery, standard keeper and strike kit, and Detex's ECL-2109 English photoluminescent paddle-bar sign, subject to the current manufacturer packing list. Cover-lock keys are not a substitute for the separately required operating rim cylinder and its keys.

Both finishes include the factory-supplied cover lock and its keys, 9V alarm battery, keeper/strike kit, and photoluminescent English exit plate. Confirm the actual door, frame and strike requirements for the rated assembly.

Fire-Rated Exit Hardware with Automatic Relatching

Unlike a conventional single-deadbolt alarmed exit control device, the Detex ECL-600 uses a 1-inch throw saw-resistant deadbolt together with a 3/4-inch deadlocking latchbolt. The latchbolt provides an automatic relatching function when the door closes, helping maintain the positive-latching performance required on compatible fire-rated exit openings.

The ECL-600 is identified by Detex as Warnock Hersey-listed fire exit hardware with a maximum three-hour listing for properly configured fire door assemblies: single doors up to 4 ft x 8 ft, or pairs up to 8 ft x 8 ft with the required approved hardware and compatible fire-rated mullion where specified. The door, frame, strikes, closer, assembly and installation must each meet applicable listings, codes and approvals. The device alone does not make an opening fire-rated.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fire-exit hardware: Warnock Hersey-listed ECL-600 long-bar exit control for suitable listed three-hour openings.
• Two mechanical latching elements: The 1-inch deadbolt provides added security, while the 3/4-inch deadlocking latchbolt relatches as the door closes.
• Integrated 100 dB audible alarm: Alerts facility personnel to exit activation and helps discourage unauthorized use of a protected secondary exit.
• 9V battery operated: A 9-volt battery is supplied; an optional BE-961 hardwired conversion kit is available separately.
• Arms and disarms with the deadbolt: Locking/unlocking the deadbolt operates the alarm arming function as designed by Detex.
• Key-controlled alarm reset: Alarm reset requires the designated cover-lock control key.
• Attack-resistant construction: Saw-resistant deadbolt and corrosion-resistant alloy lock body; Detex reports resistance exceeding 2,200 lb of outside pull force under its stated test conditions.
• Photoluminescent exit signage: Durable steel ECL-2109 English push plate provides visible emergency-exit instructions, even after lighting is reduced.
• Long operating bar: Designed for 36- to 48-inch-wide doors, including common 3 ft and 4 ft commercial openings.
• Non-handed: Compatible with appropriate left- and right-hand door applications, subject to door and frame preparation.
• Black or Gray factory finish: Select Black for darker openings, or Gray for a neutral appearance; both have the same ECL-600 fire-rated relatching design, alarm and supplied hardware.
• Operating cylinder flexibility: Accepts suitable 5-, 6- or 7-pin conventional or interchangeable-core rim cylinders; a cylinder collar may be required for some six- or seven-pin configurations. Operating cylinder and keys sold separately.
