Push Button Switch Wide

It's a standard request-to-exit or door-release button sized for wide-stile doors, such as hollow metal commercial doors, letting personnel press it to release an electric strike, maglock, or exit device. It's the wide-stile counterpart to PDQ's narrow push button for everyday access-release use.

The wide push button's faceplate is sized to mount on wider door stiles, typically hollow metal doors, while the narrow push button fits narrow-stile aluminum storefront framing. Choosing between them comes down to the physical stile width of the door being prepped.

The wide push button is a standard-size, flush button intended for routine door-release use on wide-stile doors, whereas the mushroom push button uses a large dome shape purpose-built for emergency egress and easy activation under stress or with limited dexterity. Specify the wide button for normal request-to-exit duty, not emergency release.

Yes, it's available as momentary (81320-1MT), which pulses the contact and springs back after release, or maintained (81320-1MM), which holds the contact until pressed again. Momentary is typical for triggering a timed unlock cycle on an electric strike or maglock.

It has a stainless steel faceplate for durability on high-traffic commercial entrances, matching the finish and construction of PDQ's other 8100-series key switches and push buttons for a consistent look across a building.
