PBT-861BS 85mm Raised Press to Exit Button with Wheelchair Symbol (RTE)

The PBT-861BS Series 85mm Raised Press to Exit Buttons with Wheelchair Symbol are robust door release switches designed for use with access control systems, door entry systems, and electronic locking installations. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, residential, and public sector environments, they provide a reliable method of releasing electronically secured doors from the safe side of the building.

Also known as request to exit (RTE) buttons, door release buttons, or exit buttons, the PBT-861BS Series is installed on the secure side of an access-controlled door. When pressed, the button activates the connected access control system, allowing the electric lock or magnetic lock (maglock) to release and enable safe exit.

Manufactured from durable zinc alloy, the PBT-861BS Series features a large 85mm raised button for easy operation. Available with blue, green, or red buttons, the range allows installers to select the most appropriate colour for their application. The buttons support both flush mounting and surface mounting when used with the optional surface surround, providing flexibility for a wide range of installations.
