The 8400 Series is designed for narrow stile aluminum applications that require a life-safety exit device with mortise locking solution.

Clean, unobtrusive design. Easy to install.

Patented "Starwheel" bolt interlocks door to frame, which is a unique feature for exit devices. The "Starwheel" bolt comes into play when the door closes.
