Alarm:
This panic exit bar is equipped with a 100-decibel alarm powered by a 9-volt battery. If the panic bar is used when the alarm is enabled the alarm will sound. This is the main feature for purchasing this panic exit bar. The alarm can be disabled via a key. Once the alarm is disabled the door can be opened without the alarm sounding.
Dogging:This panic bar is equipped with Allen key dogging. Dogging is a method of leaving the panic exit bar unlatched for free entry through the door. Allen key dogging is a secure method of unlatching the panic exit bar. Although an Allen key is a common tool it is something most individuals would not have on them. With the alternate method of dogging, knob dogging, anyone can walk up and flip the knob and the panic bar would be unlocked. When the Allen key is inserted and turn the latch on the end of the panic bar is retracted and held retracted until the key is turned back again.
