Detex ECL600 Warnock Hersey Listed Fire Exit Hardware w/ Long Bar 36" to 48"

The ECL-600 is a fire-rated exit control lock designed for secondary fire exits where security and theft prevention are critical. This relatching exit device combines a 1" throw deadbolt with a 3/4" dead locking latchbolt to provide managed egress control on doors that must remain secure during normal operations but allow immediate exit during emergencies. Detex built this device to address the common problem of unauthorized exits through fire doors in retail, warehouse, and industrial facilities.

The unit features a 100-decibel alarm that activates when the door is opened and can only be reset with a control key. Its attack-resistant steel construction withstands over 2200 lbs of outside pull force while the relatching mechanism provides additional security after each use. The corrosion-resistant alloy lockbody and non-handed design simplify installation across different door configurations. A photoluminescent sign absorbs ambient light and stays visible when the lights go out. Background on egress marking is in our guide to NFPA 101.

Detex classifies the ECL-600 as fire-rated exit control hardware, and holds its fire approval through Warnock Hersey / ETL rather than UL. Detex publishes no UL panic listing for this model and points panic hardware applications to the ECL-230D or ECL-230D-PH instead; background on when a panic device is called for is in our guide to IBC panic hardware. The straightforward push-bar operation ensures occupants can exit quickly during emergencies while the alarm deters casual use during normal operations.

Detex lists the fire approval as Warnock Hersey / ETL fire exit hardware with a 3 hour fire rating, and publishes NFPA 80 and NFPA 101 among its life safety listings. Whether it is permitted on a given opening is set by the adopted code and your authority having jurisdiction.
