Dormakaba BPA-KIT 630 battery powered exit alarm - Satin Stainless Steel

The dormakaba BPA Kit 630 is a battery powered exit alarm kit that adds local alarm protection to dormakaba 9000 series exit devices in a 630 satin stainless steel finish. Rather than replacing your panic hardware, this kit converts an existing 9000 series device into an alarmed exit, so an unauthorized push of the bar triggers an audible alarm at the door. It is the practical answer for any opening that has to stay free for legal egress but should not be used for casual or unauthorized exit.

What the BPA Kit 630 Does

Buildings like retail stores, schools, banks, restaurants, and government facilities are required to provide free egress at exit doors for life safety. A standard panic bar satisfies that, but it does nothing to discourage theft, unauthorized exits, or doors being propped or slipped out of. The BPA alarm kit closes that gap. When someone presses the exit device, the built-in alarm sounds, drawing immediate attention so staff or security can respond. The door still opens freely for genuine emergencies, which keeps the opening code-compliant while deterring misuse.

This is a 630 alarm kit specifically, meaning it is finished in satin stainless steel (the 630 / 32D finish) to match standard dormakaba 9000 series exit hardware.

Key Features

• Function: Battery powered alarm kit that converts a dormakaba 9000 series exit device into an alarmed exit.

• Finish: 630 satin stainless steel, matching standard 9000 series panic hardware.

• Power: Self-contained battery power, typically a 9-volt industrial-grade battery housed in the end cap for easy replacement. Direct-wire power options are available on the device family for permanent installations.

• Tamper protection: Tamper switch design sounds the alarm if someone attempts to defeat or remove the battery.

• Audible output: High-decibel local alarm loud enough to alert staff at the door. Confirm the exact rating for your device length.

• Application: Retail, education, healthcare, banking, and any controlled exit where free egress is required but unauthorized use must be deterred.

Why an Exit Alarm Instead of a Plain Panic Bar

A panic bar alone lets anyone walk out any time, which is fine for safety but a problem for loss prevention and access control. Adding an exit alarm is the lower-cost path to a controlled exit, because you keep the panic hardware you already have and simply add the alarm function. Compared with a fully alarmed exit device, the BPA kit is the budget-friendly retrofit when the existing 9000 series bar is in good shape and you only need to add the alarm.

One thing to confirm before ordering: the BPA kit is matched to the device length of your existing 9000 series exit device. Have your exact device model and length ready so the kit fits the bar you actually have.
