Robust features

PE80 and PED4000/PED5000 Series exit devices exceed our hallmark levels of security and standards"

He adds, “The new PE80 and PED4000/PED5000 Series exit devices address these requirements head-on with a robust set of features that exceed our hallmark levels of security and standards of excellence."

New standards

Bill Grambo continues, "Designed for the future, these devices will set new standards for the industry and I’m excited to introduce them to the market.”

Engineered for an extended lifespan to withstand heavy usage and to reduce the need for frequent product replacements, the SARGENT and Corbin Russwin exit devices are designed with the next 20-30 years in mind. 

FEMA-certified

These exit devices are built to resist abusive conditions and have sloped, flush surfaces to eliminate catch points and minimise damage related to impacts from carts. Plus, the reinforced mounting brackets ensure the end caps never fall off from excessive contact.

Users will find improved delayed egress functionality and enhanced motorised electric latch retraction, including electric latch retraction on FEMA-certified devices. And, they feature a 5 lb. pressure latch release option on all rim and concealed vertical rod models to comply with California building codes.

ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1

The devices offer multiple indicators, push rail dogging, and master keying with security key systems

As for security, the devices provide ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified strength with heavy-duty mounting construction for high-impact environments.

They also offer a variety of features, including multiple indicators, push rail dogging, and master keying with security key systems to enhance the overall user experience.

Minimalist designs

The devices’ versatile form factors and minimalist designs facilitate seamless integration to suit different environments and aesthetics.

The models offer many decorative lever choices, as well as wide and narrow style trim escutcheons for use with all applications.

Cutomisable, sustainable, and efficient 

There are also customisable, mixed-finish options as well as an option for special MicroShield or CuVerro Shield coatings to protect against germ transmission.

Finally, with sustainability and efficiency at the forefront of organisations’ interests, all models use post-consumer recycled materials and include EcoFlex® technology on all electrified trim to save 89% more energy than standard electrified exit devices.
