The DAC Industries 6045-KIT upgrades pedestrian gates with a durable Detex VS exit device and a weather-shielded lock box with keyed cylinder so you can maintain free egress while granting authorized outside entry. The 24" adjustable plate spans common frame widths for clean layout, and the receiver bracket is designed around a 3" O.D. latch post to simplify strike alignment. It’s a field-friendly solution for retail yards, campuses, and amenity enclosures where both egress and controlled ingress are required (verify local code). For alarmed signaling or ultra-heavy-duty devices, see the options below.
