Exit alarms standards raised

Exit security, including exit locks, exit alarms and alarms for exit devices, is an important part of many business owners' toolkit. The proper hardware can protect both valuable property and, when used with fire doors, people's lives. That makes it crucial that your exit hardware is up to industry standards, which have recently changed for the first time since 2002.

In fact, the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, the organization accredited by ANSI to oversee product standards for architectural hardware, made a number of enhancements to exit security standards, including adding new tests for preload, key cylinder operation and outside pull.

That means that as good as your current exit safety was when you bought it, it still might not be up to today's more rigorous benchmarks. And that means it might be time to call Bill's Mobile Lock for a consultation.
