Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Emergency Door Release Call Point?

An emergency door release call point is a safety device used to immediately release an electronically locked door during an emergency. When activated, it interrupts the locking circuit, allowing occupants to safely exit the building.

Why is a Call Point Unit Used with Magnetic Locks?

Magnetic locks (maglocks) are typically fail-safe locking devices that require power to remain locked. An emergency door release unit provides a manual override, allowing power to be removed from the lock so the door can be opened in an emergency situation.

What Does a Resettable Call Point Mean?

A resettable emergency call point can be returned to its normal operating condition after activation without replacing a glass element. This reduces maintenance costs and allows the unit to be quickly put back into service using the supplied reset mechanism.

Can the BG1 Be Used with Access Control Systems?

Yes. The BG1 can be used as an emergency door release call point with access control systems, door entry systems, intercom systems, magnetic locks, electric strikes, electric bolts, and other electronic locking devices. The COM, NO, and NC outputs provide flexible integration options for safely releasing doors in an emergency.

What is the Difference Between a Resettable Call Point and a Break Glass Unit?

A traditional break glass unit requires the glass element to be replaced after activation. A resettable call point provides the same emergency door release function but can be quickly reset and reused, reducing maintenance requirements and ongoing costs.

Where Should an Emergency Door Release Unit Be Installed?

Emergency door release units are typically installed adjacent to electronically locked exit doors and magnetic lock systems. They should be positioned where occupants can easily access them in the event of an emergency while complying with local fire and building regulations.
