An exit device for a door includes an elongate housing, a latch, a touch bar assembly, a panel, and a dogging assembly. The elongate housing is configured to be mounted to the door. The touch bar assembly is attached to the elongate housing. The touch bar assembly includes a touch bar that is movable relative to the elongate housing and has a linkage that operably connects the touch bar to the latch. The panel is connected to the elongate housing. The dogging assembly has a combination lock dogging operator and a dogging mechanism. The dogging mechanism is rotatably coupled to the elongate housing. The combination lock dogging operator is mounted to the panel, and is drivably engaged with the dogging mechanism.

A push bar door exit device includes a latch actuation assembly configured to be installed in a door and including a linearly-movable latch retractor; a door latch operatively coupled to the latch retractor so as to be moved from a latched position to an unlatched position by the linear movement of the latch retractor; and a push bar mechanism configured for being mounted on the door and including a linearly-movable push bar operatively coupled to the latch actuation assembly so as to translate a linear motion of the push bar into the linear movement of the latch retractor.

An exit device having a dogging mechanism assembly for providing a visual indication of the state or position of at least certain components of the exit device, such as, for example, a latch, drive rod, and/or a hook bracket. The dogging mechanism assembly includes a displaceable arm actuator mechanism that is coupled to the hook bracket, the hook bracket being adapted to lockingly engage the drive rod. The actuator arm mechanism is adapted to displace an indicator mechanism at least from a first indicator position to a second indicator position as the actuator arm mechanism is displaced to at least one of a first position and a second position. The indicator mechanism has one or more indicators that provide a visual indication of a state or position of a component of the exit device when the indicator mechanism is in at least one of a first and second indicator position.

An over-travel mechanism configured to couple an input shaft and an output shaft in an exit device assembly. The input shaft is connected to an actuator that linearly displaces the input shaft, and the output shaft is connected to a locking member of the exit device. The over-travel mechanism includes a link coupled to the output shaft, and a preloaded elastic member transmits force between the input shaft and the link. Movement of the input shaft from a first input shaft position to a second input shaft position causes the elastic member to urge the link from a first link position toward a second link position. Movement of the input shaft from the second input shaft position to a third input shaft position causes the elastic member to elastically deform without moving the link from the second link position.

A dogging mechanism for an exit device may include a progressive latching arrangement to allow for dogging at a plurality of positions of a push bar. An electronic latch retraction device may include a camming arrangement configured to provide mechanical advantage when retracting a push bar of an exit device.

A door exit device may include a light source for indicating a status of the exit device. The light source may be capable of providing a first indication denoting that the exit device is in a first state (e.g., a dogged state) and a second indication denoting that the exit device is in a second state (e.g., an undogged state). Further, the exit device may include first and second parallel control systems capable of electronically controlling that status of the exit device. In some instances, a first parallel control system may supersede a second parallel control system.

A push pad exit device comprising a horizontal push bar actuator mechanically linked to a vertical door handle assembly for use on the interior side of entrance doors where a means of emergency egress is desired, is presented. The operating mechanisms of the push bar actuator and vertical door handle assembly are concealed presenting a smooth uncluttered appearance. The push pad exit device further including an improved roller latch bolt. The improved roller latch bolt allows for a roller to make contact with a ramp surface of a corresponding strike plate on a sweep side of the plate and allows for the roller support to make contact with the strike plate on a latch side of the plate.

An electric latch retraction device comprising a housing for receiving a plurality of internal components of the electric latch retraction device. An actuator mechanism is included in the housing, the actuator mechanism is adapted to impart linear movement on a latch, such that the latch is retracted towards the housing. A holding mechanism is also included in the housing, the holding mechanism holds the latch in a fully retracted position when the actuator is off. Other embodiments can comprise internal conversion mechanisms to convert the motor's linear motion to a different directional motion, with the different directional motion retracting the latch.

A bolt restraint mechanism for restraining a bolt of a bolting mechanism. The bolt restraint mechanism includes a bolt moveable between thrown and retracted positions and a catch plate having an aperture through which the bolt extends. The catch plate is biased to pivot such that a restraint surface of the aperture pushes against the bolt to restrain movement of the bolt. A release trigger is arranged such that when depressed the release trigger pushes against the catch plate to pivot thereby releasing the restraint surface from pushing against the bolt to release the bolt. The catch plate may be biased such that when the restraint surface pushes against the bolt to restrain movement of the bolt, the catch plate is non-orthogonal to the bolt.

An unlocking transmission mechanism is driven by a power transmission shaft of an electric control system to unlock an emergency exit door lock. The unlocking transmission mechanism includes a fixed base assembly, a slidable base assembly, a linear driving assembly, a transmission member and a linkage member. The transmission member is pivotally connected to the slidable base assembly, and the linkage member is pivotally connected to the transmission member. When the linear driving assembly is driven by the power transmission shaft to drive the slidable base assembly to move along a linear sliding stroke in an unlock-driving direction, the transmission member and the linkage member are sequentially driven to drive a manual-operated press bar assembly to unlock the emergency exit door lock. In addition, a multi-selective kit for the unlocking transmission mechanism is also provided.
