BEST ALW-3 628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST ALW-3 exit alarm kit fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The ALW-3 is built for wide stile exit devices, and the channel fillers in the kit are sized to that wider device channel. On a narrow stile aluminum door the fillers won't seat correctly in the device. If the opening is a glass front storefront with a narrow stile device, you need the narrow stile version of the ALW kit instead.
2) Does the BEST ALW-3 alarm kit run on batteries, or does it need to be wired?
It has to be wired. The ALW-3 is not battery operated, it runs on remote power, so a supply and a wire run to the door are part of the job. That is a decision point before you buy: if there is no power at the opening and no path to pull wire, budget for a supply and conduit or pick a self-contained battery alarm instead.
3) Do I have to replace my exit device to add an alarm, or can I retrofit one?
You can retrofit. The ALW-3 kit adds alarm function to an existing wide stile exit device rather than replacing the hardware, so the panic device, strike prep, and door stay as they are. That matters on a multi-door building where the devices are already standardized: you keep the existing devices and add monitoring to the openings that need it.
4) What size do I order the BEST ALW-3 exit alarm kit in, 3 foot or 4 foot?
The kit comes in 3 FT and 4 FT device sizes, and you match it to the exit device already on the door, not to the door leaf. Measure the existing wide stile device: a 3 foot device takes the 3 FT kit, a 4 foot device (typical on a 4 foot wide leaf) takes the 4 FT. The channel fillers have to run the length of that device, so the wrong size won't fill the channel.
5) What finishes does the BEST ALW-3 exit alarm kit come in, and can I match my existing devices?
Seven finishes, and both device sizes are offered in all of them: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 628 satin aluminum, and 630 satin stainless steel. Since the fillers sit in the device channel where they're visible, match the BHMA number on the device you're retrofitting. 628 and 630 cover most commercial aluminum and stainless openings.
6) What comes in the BEST ALW-3 kit and what else do I need to buy to finish the install?
The kit ships complete with the alarm components and the wide stile channel fillers needed to mount into the existing device. What it does not include is the power side: because it runs remote powered rather than on batteries, you supply the power supply, the wire, and any connection into a monitoring system. Plan the wire gauge and run to the manufacturer's wiring diagram before you open the door up.
7) Is the BEST ALW-3 alarm kit rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The ALW-3 is a commercial-grade exit alarm kit, built for the sort of openings you find in schools, hospitals, retail back-of-house, and government buildings where an exit needs to be monitored rather than locked. It is not sold as a residential item.
8) Can an alarm kit like this be installed by a maintenance tech, or does it need an electrician?
There is line-side work involved. Installation means disconnecting power, pulling and terminating wire to the device for remote powered operation, then configuring and testing the alarm. A maintenance tech can handle the mechanical side (stripping the device, seating the wide stile channel fillers, reassembly), but the power and wiring portion has to follow applicable electrical codes, which on most commercial jobs means a licensed electrician or a security integrator.
