Keypad Exit Devices

Keyless entry for exit doors, without running a single wire. Sargent keypad exit devices combine a Grade 1 wide stile panic bar with a battery-powered keypad on the outside lever, so authorized users enter a PIN to get in while anyone can push the bar to get out. Shop standalone keypad rim and mortise exit devices with up to 100 user codes and cylinder override options, from Commercial Door Hardware.

Access Control Without the Infrastructure

A card access system is the right answer for a building-wide security program. It's overkill for a single staff entrance, a tenant door, or a storage building at the back of a campus. Those doors need to keep the public out and let a defined group of people in, without the wiring, panels, and software of a networked system.

Sargent keypad exit devices solve that at the door itself. The keypad, controller, and motor are built into the outside trim and run on batteries. Authorized users enter a code, the lever unlocks, and they're in. From inside, the push bar works exactly as panic hardware must, opening the door with a single push at all times.

Keypad vs. Key vs. Card Access

The keypad's strongest advantage is what happens when someone leaves. With keys, a departed employee means rekeying. With a keypad, you delete their code at the door in a few seconds.

Key Features

Rim and Mortise Options

Rim devices are the simplest to install and the most common choice for single doors. Mortise devices latch through a mortise lock in the door edge, often preferred on high-abuse openings. Choose cylinder override when keyholders such as security or maintenance need to enter regardless of codes.

Available Finishes

Satin stainless suits most commercial openings, since the lever and push pad are touched constantly. Check the product page for the full list of finishes available on each model.

Finish codes follow the BHMA system, with the older US designation shown alongside. The two codes describe the same finish, so 630 and US32D are interchangeable on a hardware schedule.

How to Specify a Keypad Exit Device

1. Choose rim or mortise based on the door and existing prep.

2. Decide on cylinder override for keyholder access.

3. Measure the door width and choose the device length.

4. Choose the lever design: B, J, L, or P.

5. Confirm handing, such as RHR or LHR.

6. Check the fire rating, since rated openings need fire-rated (12-) versions.

7. Select the finish.

8. Plan code management: who holds the master, supervisory, and user codes.
