The DAC Industries 6047-KIT equips pedestrian gates with a Detex VS alarmed exit device plus a weather-shielded lock box and keyed cylinder, so you get free egress, audible notification, and controlled outside entry in one package. The 24" adjustable plate spans common gate frame widths, while the receiver bracket is designed for a 3" O.D. latch post to simplify strike alignment. Choose a 36" or 48" device to suit your opening and visibility needs. It’s a field-friendly solution for retail yards, campuses, and amenity enclosures where alarmed signaling and authorized re-entry are required (verify local code).

Specifications

Why Choose This

• Alarm + access — Integrated alarm alerts staff on egress, and the lock box/cylinder enables authorized exterior entry.
• Gate-optimized fit — Adjustable plate and receiver speed alignment on chain link or ornamental frames to reduce install time.
• Right-sized upgrades — For non-alarmed ingress/egress choose 6045-KIT (VS + lock box); for ultra-heavy duty, step up to 10045-KIT (Advantex + lock box).

Installation (Quick Steps)

• Fit the plate to the gate leaf (≈29"–52" span); clamp, mark, and fasten square to the hinge line.
• Mount the receiver on the 3" O.D. latch post; adjust for clean bolt throw and repeatable re-latch.
• Install the alarmed Detex VS bar to the pre-drilled plate; mount the lock box and keyed cylinder; enable the alarm per device instructions.
• Final checks — Cycle egress and outside entry, verify alarm trigger/reset, tighten hardware, and confirm required signage/labels.

Buying Guide

• Alarm requirement — Choose 6047-KIT when audible exit notification is required by policy; if not needed, consider 6045-KIT.
• Duty level — For harsh environments or very high traffic, stainless Advantex in the 10045-KIT offers maximum durability.
• Exit-only applications — If you don’t need outside entry, an exit-only alarmed kit such as 6037-KIT can reduce cost and maintenance.
