A delayed egress system is a specialized locking arrangement that prevents unauthorized exits by delaying door release for 15 or 30 seconds.
- Emergency Exit Alarms: Sounds an immediate 85dB siren upon activation.
- Life Safety Integration: Automatically releases during a fire alarm or power loss.
- Visual Signage: Includes required “Push Until Alarm Sounds” indicators.
