On magnetically locked, non fire-rated doors, most building
codes require an exit device that does not require any special
tools or knowledge. Securitron’s patented Touch Sense Bar is the
perfect device for this requirement. The simple act of touching
the bar (even through gloves or clothing) trips an electronic
sensor which immediately releases the lock.
The Touch Sense Bar is the ultimate in egress reliability and
safety. Having no moving parts, it does not suffer mechanical wear
and no pressure is required for use, which provides superior
egress safety for frail or disabled persons.
The model TSH, Touch Sense Handle, is intended for use on
inswinging doors or aluminum frame glass doors when a different
style device is desired.
