Break Glass Units

Our range of break glass units provides a clearly identifiable manual release point for compatible access control, door security and emergency door release systems.

Break glass units are commonly installed as part of fail-safe electric locking systems, allowing power to the locking device to be interrupted manually in an emergency. When operated, the unit releases the connected lock or triggers the associated control circuit, depending on the system design.

The range includes conventional break glass units and resettable emergency door release devices suitable for a variety of commercial and professional access control applications.

Typical applications include:

  • Emergency door release systems
  • Access control systems
  • Magnetic lock installations
  • Electric locking systems
  • Controlled exit doors
  • Commercial buildings
  • Office environments
  • Educational facilities
  • Healthcare buildings
  • Public buildings
  • Residential developments
  • Restricted access areas

Break glass units can be used with compatible magnetic locks, electric locks, access control panels, power supplies, relays and other door security equipment where a dedicated emergency release point is required.

Please check the contact configuration, operating voltage, reset method, mounting type, environmental rating and compatibility with the connected locking system before ordering.
