Bea 10ACPBSS1, 2" x 4" Access Control Push Button W/ Push to Exit" text

The BEA 10ACPBSS1 is a 2" x 4" single-gang access control push button with a green illuminated "Push to Exit" legend, the device mounted beside an access-controlled door that lets people release the lock and exit. In an access control setup, the door is held by a maglock or electric strike, and a push-to-exit button is how someone inside requests to leave: press it, and it signals the system to release the door. This BEA button pairs an illuminated plastic button with a stainless steel faceplate, and it's built for indoor and low-ambient-light applications where a clearly visible, durable exit control is needed.

What a push-to-exit button does

This is worth being clear on, because the push button is a specific part of an access control system. A maglock or electric strike keeps the door locked, but people inside still need a simple, code-compliant way to get out. The push-to-exit button is that way: it's the request-to-exit (REX) device that releases the door on a press. The "Push to Exit" text and green illumination make its purpose obvious, even in a dim corridor, so anyone can find and use it without hunting for the release.

On this model, the button integrates with BEA's Br3 Logic Module to create delayed egress or request-to-exit applications. That means it isn't just a dumb switch, paired with the Br3, it can drive timed release, delayed egress sequences (where code allows), and proper REX logic, so it fits real access control designs rather than only basic momentary release.

Built to be visible, serviceable, and tamper resistant

The 10ACPBSS1 is made for the realities of a commercial opening. The illumination is adjustable between bright and low light, so you can tune visibility to the space, brighter for a dark stairwell, lower where it would glare. When the bulb eventually wears out, it uses an easily replaced 12/14 bulb, so you swap the bulb instead of replacing the whole button, which saves cost over the life of the device. The faceplate is stainless steel, and the button has a vandal and tamper resistant design, so it holds up in public and high-traffic areas. It carries a 3-year warranty.
