The DAC Industries 6035-KIT packages a Detex surface-mount exit device with gate-specific hardware so you can add dependable, free egress to chain link or ornamental gates. The 24" adjustable plate spans common frame widths for faster layout, and the receiver bracket is designed for a 3" O.D. latch post to help you dial in smooth, consistent latching. Choose a 36" (#6003) or 48" (#6004) bar length to match your opening, then secure with the included stainless fasteners. It’s a practical, field-friendly kit for service yards, campuses, pools, or retail enclosures where exit-only gates are required (verify local code). If you also need keyed re-entry, consider a kit with a lock box and cylinder.
