The ECL-230D is a battery-powered alarmed exit control lock designed for secondary exits where you need to prevent unauthorized egress while maintaining emergency escape capability. This steel deadbolt device mounts on doors in retail, warehouse, and commercial facilities to reduce theft and unauthorized access. Detex builds this panic hardware to provide 100 decibel alarm notification when the exit is used, helping facility managers control employee and customer movement through secondary doors.
The single-point deadbolt throws 1 inch and accepts standard 5-pin through 7-pin interchangeable core rim cylinders. Attack-resistant construction withstands over 2200 pounds of outside pull force. The steel plate includes a photo-luminescent sign that absorbs ambient light and glows in low-light conditions. Non-handed design simplifies installation and inventory management.

Detex lists the ECL-230D to UL 305 as panic hardware. Check the bar against your opening before ordering: this version uses a 12-7/8 in bar and takes a 20 in minimum door width, while the ECL-230D-PH uses a 24-1/8 in bar and suits doors from 34 in. Panic hardware rules set a minimum span for the actuating portion relative to the width of the door leaf, so on a standard 36 in door the longer bar is usually the one that fits. Background on the rules: IBC Chapter 10 means of egress and NFPA 101.
