Detex ECL-600 GRAY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put an alarmed exit control lock on a fire-rated secondary exit door?
The Detex ECL-600 is Warnock Hersey-listed fire exit hardware, which is what lets it go on a fire-rated secondary exit rather than a plain alarmed lock that would void the door assembly. It combines a 1 inch throw dead bolt with a 3/4 inch dead locking latch bolt and a 100 decibel alarm tied to dead bolt operation, so the opening stays secured for daily use and still releases for egress. That combination is why it turns up on stairwell and back-of-house exits in retail, schools, healthcare and multi-tenant buildings.
2) Do I have to order a cylinder separately with the Detex ECL-600?
You choose that at order time. The ECL-600 comes three ways: no cylinder, with cylinder keyed alike, or with cylinder keyed different. Keyed alike is what you want when several exits in the same building should open on one key; keyed different keeps each door on its own. If you already run a master key system or an interchangeable core program, take the no-cylinder version and supply your own, since the device accepts 5-pin through 7-pin standard and interchangeable core rim cylinders.
3) Will a Detex ECL-600 work with my existing SFIC keying system?
Yes. The ECL-600 takes interchangeable core rim cylinders as well as standard rim cylinders in 5-pin, 6-pin and 7-pin, so a facility already standardized on a core program can drop its own core in and keep the exit on the same system. Order the no-cylinder version in that case.
4) Does the alarm on the Detex ECL-600 need to be wired in?
No wiring. The 100 decibel alarm runs on a 9-volt battery that is included, so there is no power run, no transformer and no low-voltage rough-in to coordinate. The alarm is tied to dead bolt operation and is armed and reset with the control key. Budget a battery change into your PM route, since the horn has no other power source.
5) How much force will an ECL-600 exit control lock take before it gives?
Over 2200 lbs of outside pull force, with a saw-resistant dead bolt and a corrosion resistant alloy lock body. That is the number that matters on a back door being pried with a bar, and it is why the ECL-600 shows up on retail loss-prevention exits and industrial rear doors where a standard alarmed rim device would be levered off.
6) Does the Detex ECL-600 relock by itself after someone goes out the door?
It does. The ECL-600 is a relatching device: the 3/4 inch dead locking latch bolt catches again as the door closes, so an exit left after hours does not stay open. The 1 inch dead bolt is the separate, keyed layer of security, and throwing or retracting it is also what arms and disarms the alarm.
7) Where do I get installation dimensions and door prep for a Detex ECL-600?
Detex publishes both an installation instruction sheet and a field installation guide for the ECL-600, and ZenSupply hosts both: the installation instructions at https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/detex/INS-600-4202.pdf and the field installation guide at https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/detex/ECL-600-1.pdf. Pull the prep off those before you cut the door, and set the battery and test the alarm arm/reset cycle with the control key before you call the install done.
8) Will the exit sign on a Detex ECL-600 still be readable if the building loses power?
Yes. The steel plate carries a photo-luminescent sign that stays visible during a power outage, so the exit still reads in a dark stairwell or corridor without any connection to emergency lighting circuits.
9) What finishes does the Detex ECL-600 come in?
Two: gray and black. Both are offered with no cylinder, with a keyed alike cylinder, or with a keyed different cylinder, so finish does not limit your keying choice. Gray is the common pick on painted hollow metal back doors; black hides better on a dark storefront or a service corridor.
10) Is the ECL-600 a commercial device or is it meant for residential use?
Commercial. The ECL-600 is built for managed exits in commercial and institutional buildings, secondary fire exits, emergency egress in schools and healthcare, retail loss prevention and multi-tenant back doors. On a house you would be paying for attack resistance and alarm hardware that a residential opening never calls for.
