OEM Replacement Exit Bar Plate | For Standard ECL-230D Only | Red Photoluminescent Safety Marking

Restore the original safety marking on a compatible Detex ECL-230D Exit Control Lock with the Detex ECL-8220 Metal Bar Plate.

The ECL-8220 is the short-style metal photoluminescent exit bar plate used on the standard ECL-230D. Its high-visibility English safety message identifies the door as an emergency exit and warns users that operating the device will activate the alarm.

Detex currently identifies the standard ECL-8220 as the red English plate for the ECL-230D.

Printed Safety Message

The standard English ECL-8220 plate displays:

EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY
ALARM WILL SOUND
PUSH HERE

This clearly identifies the emergency-exit function and warns users that pushing the exit-control bar activates the alarm.

Photoluminescent Design

The ECL-8220 incorporates photoluminescent safety marking designed to improve visibility when normal ambient lighting is reduced.

The material absorbs available light and remains visible during lower-light conditions without requiring an electrical connection to the plate itself.

This feature makes the plate well suited for:

• Emergency exits

• Commercial buildings

• Warehouses

• Schools

• Retail locations

• Institutional facilities

• Other controlled-egress openings

For Standard ECL-230D Only

The ECL-8220 is intended for the standard, short-bar ECL-230D configuration. Detex lists it separately from the longer exit-bar plates used on other ECL configurations.

Compatible

Detex ECL-230D

Not the Correct Plate For

• ECL-230D-PH Long Bar

• ECL-600

Those applications use Detex's ECL-2109-series long exit bar plate instead.

This distinction is important when replacing a worn or damaged plate.

OEM Replacement Part

Using the correct factory replacement plate helps maintain:

• Proper fit on the exit-control bar

• Correct safety wording

• Original equipment appearance

• Correct bar-length configuration

• Consistent Detex labeling

For best results, confirm the existing device is labeled ECL-230D before ordering.

Durable Metal Construction

Unlike lightweight adhesive labels, the ECL-8220 is a metal bar plate designed for installation directly onto the compatible ECL-230D exit-control bar.

The durable construction is suitable for demanding commercial and institutional environments where the plate may experience frequent contact during door operation.

When to Replace the Bar Plate

Consider replacing the ECL-8220 when the existing plate is:

• Missing

• Bent

• Damaged

• Heavily scratched

• Faded

• Difficult to read

• Being replaced during an ECL-230D refurbishment

A clear, intact plate helps users immediately recognize the function of the emergency-exit hardware.

Important Compatibility Note

Before ordering, verify that the existing exit-control lock is:

Detex ECL-230D

Do not order this plate solely based on appearance.

If the device uses the long panic-hardware bar, verify whether the opening instead requires the ECL-2109 plate.
