Tamper-Resistant Design

The latch monitor switch option sounds alarm when the latch is retracted without actuating the push pad, typically used with surface vertical rod devices where both the device and outside trim unit will activate the alarm system.

Hager 4940-36 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4940 alarm kit work on any exit device, or only the 4500 Series?
The 4940 alarm kit is built for Hager 4500 Series exit devices only. Hager's own ordering note is explicit about it: when the alarm kit (ALK) is ordered separately, you have to specify that it is going on a 4500 Series device, which is how you get the 4940. Don't buy it for a 4700 rim device or a mortise-lock exit device and expect it to drop on.
2) What size mortise cylinder do I need for the Hager 4940 exit device alarm kit?
The 4940 takes a 1-1/8 inch or 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder with a Hager standard cam. The cylinder is not part of the kit, so a locksmith keying a building into an existing system orders it separately in the right keyway and length. Key motion runs the whole thing: clockwise arms the alarm, counter-clockwise disarms it, and two counter-clockwise turns puts it in service mode.
3) How loud is the Hager 4940 alarm and how long does it sound after someone pushes the bar?
A 100 decibel horn sounds the instant the push pad is pressed. Duration is set on the board, not at the factory: onboard switches select 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or continuous until a key resets it. For a stairwell or a back-of-house door in a retail space, the short settings stop the nuisance complaints; continuous is the setting for a door that should never be opened at all.
4) Does the Hager 4940 alarm kit need to be wired in, or does it run on a battery?
It runs on a standard 9 volt battery, supplied by others, so no power has to be pulled to the opening. That is what makes it practical on an existing 4500 Series device in an occupied building. Low battery is announced two ways, an audible chirp and a flashing LED with the indicator alternating colors, so it doesn't quietly fail. There is also an output port if you want the door reporting into a building management or security system.
5) Can the Hager 4940 catch someone who pulls the latch without pushing the bar?
Yes, with the latch monitor switch option. The base alarm triggers on push pad actuation. The latch monitor switch sounds the alarm when the latch retracts without the push pad being actuated, which is how it covers a door opened from the outside trim. Hager calls this out for surface vertical rod applications, where both the device and the outside trim unit will activate the alarm. There is also a separate tamper switch option that sounds the alarm if the end cap is pulled off the device.
6) Does adding a Hager 4940 alarm kit require anything else on the door besides the kit?
Three things come from outside the kit. A mortise cylinder, 1-1/8 inch or 1-1/4 inch with a Hager standard cam, for arming and disarming. A standard 9 volt battery, which Hager lists as supplied by others. And an existing Hager 4500 Series exit device to mount it to, in a length and finish that match. The warning decal reading "Emergency Exit Only - Alarm will Sound" goes on the push pad of the device.
7) How does staff tell at a glance whether a Hager 4940 alarmed exit is armed or not?
Color coded LED, no guessing. Red means armed, green means unarmed, blue means service mode. Alternating colors mean the 9 volt battery is going. For a property manager walking a building or a guard doing rounds, that is a visual check from down the corridor rather than a test that sets off a 100 decibel horn.
8) What lengths and finishes does the Hager 4940 alarm kit come in for a 4500 Series device?
Two device lengths, 36 inch and 48 inch, so the kit matches the bar already on the opening, and six finishes in each: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless. All six are offered in both lengths. For an institutional buyer standardizing a facility, 630 satin stainless is the usual pick for matching the rest of the exit hardware.
9) Should I use an alarm kit like the Hager 4940 or a delayed egress device on my emergency exit?
They solve different problems. The 4940 is a local alarm: the door still opens immediately on the push pad, and a 100 decibel horn announces that it happened. Nothing is delayed and nothing holds the door. That is the right choice for a stock room, a fire stair, or a back door where free egress is required but you want to know the moment it is used, and where a key reset by a manager closes the loop. If your goal is to actually slow someone down before the door releases, an alarm kit is not that product and you want a delayed egress device instead.
10) Is the Hager 4940 alarm kit rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. Hager classifies the 4940 as commercial hardware, and it is applied on 4500 Series exit devices in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. Multi-family property managers use it on the same basis, on the commercial-rated exit devices in common corridors and stairwells rather than on unit doors.
