Product Description
What this does
The DRB044S-PTE is a wall-mounted push button that tells your access control system to release the door, so people inside can leave a secured area without a key or fob.
Press the green dome and it sends a release signal to whatever is holding the door — an electric strike, a magnetic lock or a door controller. It's an exit-side accessory, not a lock or controller itself, so it needs one of those already fitted to actually open the door.
Build and fitting
- Green dome button set into a brushed stainless steel faceplate, marked "Press To Exit" so it's obvious what it's for in a busy corridor.
- Surface mount enclosure, screwed straight onto a wall or door frame — no chasing the wall out.
- Large dome face for quick, reliable activation where a lot of people pass through.
- Built for frequent use, which matters at exit points that get pressed dozens of times a day.
Where it's used
Fits offices, retail units, apartment blocks, schools and similar commercial or communal buildings with controlled exit points, working alongside electric strikes, magnetic locks and standard door access controllers.
Before you buy
Check your existing lock and controller can accept a simple momentary switch input — this button only supplies the trigger signal, it doesn't power or hold the lock itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the DRB044S-PTE actually control?
It doesn't control the door itself — pressing the button sends a release signal to a connected electric strike, magnetic lock or door controller, which then unlocks the door.
Can I fit this without chasing the wall?
Yes, it's housed in a surface mount enclosure designed to be fixed straight onto a wall or door frame.
Is it suitable for busy exit points?
Yes, it has a large dome button and durable construction intended for locations with frequent foot traffic.
Will this work with my existing lock?
It's designed to be compatible with electric locks and magnetic locks as part of a standard access control setup, but check your controller accepts a simple push-button input before ordering.
