The DAC Industries 6037-KIT adds a Detex alarmed exit device to chain link or ornamental gates for controlled, audible egress. The built-in alarm helps deter unauthorized exits and alerts staff the moment the bar is pressed. A 24" adjustable plate spans common frame widths for quick layout, while the receiver bracket is designed around a 3" O.D. latch post to simplify strike alignment. Choose a 36" (#6006) or 48" (#6008) device to match your opening and visibility requirements. If you also need keyed re-entry from the outside, select a kit with a lock box and cylinder instead.
