push to exit button

salmocab

Folks, anyone know of a really reliable exterior push to exit button, my wife runs a creche and the main gate has a P.T.E. that I have replaced probably 3 times in the last 4 years. Its pressed probably 100 times a day so high enough use, the current one is a MK master seal one which I always take to be high end good quality. The system is simple, its just a push to make signal.

Maybe you need use some relay, because lock take to many Amps, switch it's overload and lifetime is short.

Panel sealed to IP67
Contact rating: 50Vac/dc, 50mA

Mechanical Life 5 x 105 operations

cheers, yeah I can lay my hands on these easily I am an electrician and do be in wholesalers a few times a week, Im really looking to see if anyone has any ideas on a really reliable one that they have used themselves or know of, have you used any of these products yourself.

We have the MK type here too on our doors and they do fail after a while, but we keep mk product on the shelf so its a handy one to fix.
Ive used the crabtree type and havent had any problems or call backs.
