Urmet Single-Button Self-Resetting Emergency Exit System: Fail-Safe Security for Any Building
Ensuring safe and reliable emergency escape routes is a critical priority for building managers and security installers. The Urmet Single-Button Self-Resetting Emergency Exit System offers a robust, fail-safe solution designed to streamline emergency egress while minimizing maintenance callouts.
Universal Compatibility for Communal Doors
One of the standout features of this device is its versatility. It is fully compatible with third-party Access Control systems, meaning you can integrate it into your existing infrastructure regardless of whether you use Urmet’s proprietary systems. It is specifically designed for installation on communal doors to facilitate a swift emergency escape.
How the ‘Press to Escape’ Technology Works

Unlike standard exit buttons, this device operates independently of the onsite Access Control software. When the ‘Press to Escape’ button is activated:
- Mechanical Power Break: The device mechanically cuts power to the lock immediately.
- Timed Release: The door remains unlocked for a pre-set duration (choose between 1, 6, 12, or 24 minutes).
- Automatic Reset: Once the timer expires, the system automatically resets and relocks the door.
This automatic reset functionality is a game-changer for facility management, as it eliminates the need for manual resets and expensive engineer callouts after an emergency activation.
Fail-Safe and Compliant Design
Safety is non-negotiable. This Urmet system is fail-safe, ensuring that in the event of a total power failure, the door will remain unlocked for safe passage. Furthermore, it is fully compliant with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and UK Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.
Installation Options
To suit your building’s aesthetic and environmental needs, the system offers multiple mounting configurations:
- Surface Mounting: Requires the Surface Housing.
- Flush Mounting: Requires the Flush Housing for a low-profile finish.
- External Installation: Use the Surface Rain Hood to protect the device from the elements.
Upgrade your building’s safety protocols with a system that prioritizes both occupant security and operational efficiency.
