Alarm Controls 10C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to take the door release button off the wall to add a guard ring?
No rewiring is involved. The 10C is tapped 15/32-32 and threads onto the button bushing, so it goes on at the button itself rather than requiring the switch to be pulled from its box or the contacts disturbed. It's a retrofit part, so an existing K-11 or K-13 already installed can be guarded without replacing the switch.
2) What does the Alarm Controls 10C guard ring actually do on a push button?
The 10C is a metal ring that surrounds the push button so a hand, a cart, or a shoulder brushing the wall can't press it by accident. You still push the button, but it has to be a deliberate finger press down inside the ring. Common fix on request-to-exit buttons in corridors, loading areas, and anywhere a door release sits where people or equipment pass close to the wall.
3) Is the 10C guard ring sold singly or do I have to buy a box?
Both. Order the 10C as a single ring, or the 10C(25) pack of 25 if you are guarding buttons across a whole building. The 25 pack is the sensible order for a property manager or integrator standardizing every exit button on a floor plan.
4) Will a guard ring stop someone from pressing the exit button at all?
No, and it isn't meant to. The 10C guards against accidental activation, not intentional use. Anyone who wants to press the button still can, with a finger inside the ring. If you need the button restricted rather than protected, a guard ring is the wrong part and you want a keyed or covered switch instead.
5) Is the 10C guard ring rated for commercial use?
The 10C is a commercial-grade accessory, sold for commercial door hardware and access control installs rather than residential use.
