Product Description
What is the DRB044S-PTE for?
The DRB044S-PTE is a manual press-to-exit switch that tells an access control system to release a door, letting people leave a secured area safely and without a key.
Pressing the green dome button sends a release signal to the connected electric strike, magnetic lock or door controller — the standard way controlled exit points are wired on commercial access installations.
Build and fitting
- Green dome push button set into a brushed stainless steel faceplate marked "Press To Exit" for quick recognition
- Surface mount enclosure, fitted to a wall or door frame — no chase into the wall needed
- Large button face for fast activation in areas with frequent foot traffic
- Durable construction intended for high-use points
Where it fits in a project
This is an exit-side accessory for door access control systems, not a standalone lock. It's specified alongside:
- Electric strikes or magnetic locks
- A door access controller
- Indoor commercial settings — offices, retail premises, apartment blocks, schools and similar secure facilities with a controlled exit door
Selection notes for installers
Confirm the switch's output matches the input expected by your door controller or lock relay before wiring in. Because it's a surface-mount unit, check the faceplate depth clears door furniture or frame trims at the intended mounting point.
