Exit Buttons & Door Release Domes

Shop exit buttons, door release buttons, green dome switches, touchless controls, weatherproof buttons and specialist activation devices for access control, automatic doors and electric locking systems.

Choosing the Right Exit or Door Release Button

• Press to Exit: used on the secure side of an access-controlled door to request egress.
• Door Release: a general manual release control for compatible electric locking and door-control circuits.
• Push to Open: commonly used to activate automatic doors and accessible entrances.
• Green dome buttons: provide a large, highly visible operating surface for busy commercial environments.
• Weatherproof controls: choose IP65/IP66 products for exposed or external locations where the installation requires additional ingress protection.
• Touchless and illuminated buttons: powered options improve hygiene, visibility or both; check the stated supply voltage on the individual product.

Passive Switches vs Powered Exit Buttons

Many standard exit buttons are passive voltage-free switches and do not need a dedicated power supply. Values such as 4A at 30V AC/DC or 10A at 240V describe the contact rating, not the operating voltage. Touchless, illuminated and timed products require the supply voltage shown on their product page.

Build a Complete Access Control System

Exit controls are commonly used with maglocks, electric strikes, access control keypads, power supplies and emergency door release call points.
