Product Description
Lock Box with Pull from DAC Industries
- Integrated Pull + Lock Box — Combines an easy-grip pull handle with a lock box for clean, keyed exterior access on chain link or ornamental gates.
- Comfortable Clearance — Pull features approximately 1-1/2" knuckle clearance for gloved hands and high-traffic use.
- Gate-Ready Design — Built for panic-bar gate setups using Detex V40/V50 and Advantex devices; simplifies outside entry hardware on pedestrian gates.
- Durable Finish — Black or Silver powder coat resists weather and abrasion.
The DAC 2" Lock Box with Integrated Pull streamlines exterior access on panic-bar gates by combining a comfortable handle and keyed hardware area into one, weldable housing. The easy-to-grasp pull speeds user flow, while the lock box positions the cylinder/trim where installers expect it for reliable latch retraction. It’s a solid choice for service yards, campuses, and amenity enclosures that need secure, repeatable outside entry paired with a push-to-exit device inside. For a complete gate package with plate, receiver, and exit device, consider our kits below.

Buying Guide
- Need a complete kit? Choose a re-entry package such as 6045-KIT (VS + lock box) or 10045-KIT (Advantex + lock box).
