Command Access MLRK1-KAWP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Command Access MLRK1-KAWP electric latch retraction kit work on a Von Duprin or Precision exit device?
No. The MLRK1-KAWP is built specifically for Kawneer Paneline exit devices, with a ball screw drive and stepper motor sized to that push pad. Fitting it to another manufacturer's device isn't an option, since the motor assembly mounts fully inside the Paneline push pad. If you're electrifying a different brand of device, you need the Command Access MLRK kit built for that device family.
2) What voltage power supply do I need for the MLRK1-KAWP latch retraction kit, and how much current does it draw?
The Kawneer Paneline retraction kit runs on 24 to 25.3 VDC. Current draw depends on which of the two field-switchable modes you set it to: Standard Mode pulls 1.3A peak and 215mA hold, High Torque Mode pulls 2A peak and 250mA hold. Size the supply off the mode you'll actually run, and remember every device on the circuit adds to the peak. Use High Torque only where the door needs it, since it costs you both peak and hold current.
3) How far can I run wire from the power supply to a Kawneer Paneline latch retraction kit?
Up to 300 feet with 18ga wire. That's what lets you feed the Paneline retraction kit from a centralized Command Access power supply in an electrical room instead of putting a supply above every opening. Beyond that distance the voltage drop is out of spec for the motor.
4) Do I need to order the REX version of the MLRK1-KAWP, or is the standard kit enough?
Two configurations are offered: standard, and With REX (request-to-exit). Take the REX version when the access control system needs to know someone pushed the pad from the inside, which is the usual case if the opening is alarmed, monitored, or tied to a card reader that has to shunt on egress. If the kit is only there to unlock the door on a signal (electric dogging during business hours, for example) and nothing needs an egress signal back, the standard kit does the job. REX is a build option on the kit, so decide before you order rather than after.
5) Can I use this Kawneer Paneline kit for electric dogging during business hours?
Yes, it's continuous duty rated for electric dogging, so you can hold the latch retracted through an entire business day and push-pull the door freely. It also auto re-engages if someone pulls the push pad while it's in the dogged state, so the device recovers on its own instead of sitting in a fault. That's the standard way to run a storefront or school entrance unlocked on a schedule and relock on the time clock.
6) Does installing a motorized latch retraction kit in a Kawneer Paneline device require cutting the door or frame?
Installation needs one raceway drill point for wire routing, and nothing more on the door. The motor assembly sits entirely within the push pad with no internal clearance issues, so you aren't relieving the pad or modifying the rail to make room. That is the main reason this is a retrofit rather than a device replacement: the existing Paneline device stays on the door.
7) If the latch retraction is not pulling fully after install, can I adjust it without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. Push to Set gives you a 5-second electronic adjustment with roughly 1/4 inch of adjustment range, done in place with the device still mounted. The MM4 Smart Module backs it up with onboard diagnostics and audible feedback for power status and adjustment detection, so you can tell from the beeps whether the kit is seeing power and whether the adjustment took. For a locksmith doing punch-list callbacks, that turns a device-removal job into a two-minute stop.
8) My aluminum storefront doors bind in the summer and the latch retraction struggles. Is there a fix short of replacing the device?
Switch the kit to High Torque Mode. The Paneline retraction kit is field-switchable between Standard Mode at 1.3A peak and High Torque Mode at 2A peak, and the high torque setting exists for exactly this: doors under load, warped or seasonally tight openings where the latch is dragging on the strike. Confirm the power supply can carry the higher peak across every device on that circuit before you flip it.
9) Is the MLRK1-KAWP a whole new exit device or just the electrification hardware?
It's a retraction kit, not a device. You keep the Kawneer Paneline exit device that's already on the opening and add the motor assembly inside the push pad, which is why this is the cheaper path to access control on existing aluminum storefront entrances. It's a commercial-duty replacement part, so you still need the low-voltage power supply and whatever release device or access control head end drives it.
