Why Is a REX Button a Crucial Component of a Buzzer Entry System?

Access control systems are very convenient for residential and business properties who want to improve safety on the premises. These systems monitor who is at the door and are unlocked remotely from the inside. That way, you can prevent unwanted visits and save yourself the trouble of walking to the door to unlock them.

That solves letting people in, but what happens when they want to leave your office? They already passed verification when it comes to building entry. That means they are a trustworthy person, and no further checks are necessary. That is why pressing the button to let them out is only an additional hassle for the staff. On top of that, it disrupts the employees’ productivity. They could be focusing on a task at hand instead of opening the door all the time.

That is where a REX button comes into play. The abbreviation REX stands for “Request to Exit,” and it aims to simplify leaving the premises without affecting the employees or their productivity.

Why Should You Have a REX Button Installed?

A REX button can be of great help if you have a door buzzer entry system on the property. Buzzers are an excellent way to improve security and prevent unwanted visits in a simple and convenient way for the employees.

Installing a REX button maintains your safety while taking convenience to the next level. At the same time, it is not a big hit on the budget since these solutions are usually affordable.

These buttons are durable and long-lasting. It is important to maintain them regularly to ensure optimal performance. Doing that will ensure that REX systems last for years and serve you well.

It Helps to Maintain Your Security

More Info

It is crucial to note that a Request to Exit button won’t compromise your security. People can only press this button from the inside. And if they are on the premises, that means someone let them in, which means they passed the door buzzer system check.

As soon as they press the REX button, the door opens, and they can leave the premises. Once they do, the door will automatically close and lock again, while the button returns to the initial position.

It Maximizes Convenience

More Info

If you have a high frequency of people visiting your property every day, a REX button can be incredibly convenient. Electronic access control systems require someone to open the door so that a client can enter or leave the premises. By allowing the person to do that by themselves by pressing a REX button speeds up and simplifies the process.

First, it is very convenient for employees. No one has to go through the trouble of walking to the receiver and pressing it. That enables them to focus on their activities, which improves productivity.

REX buttons are also convenient for visitors. They don’t have to lose seconds waiting for someone to open the door. Instead, they can signal the system themselves and leave the premises immediately.

Affordable Solution

More Info

If you are looking to install a REX button, the chances are you already have a buzzer installed on your premises. As long as that is the case, Request to Exit buttons will be quite affordable. Think of them as an additional component to an existing system.

How Does a REX Button Work?

A Request to Exit button is an additional component of a door entry buzzer system. While buzzers are in charge of letting people in, the task of REX buttons is to unlock the door so that they can leave the premises.

Buzzer systems use electricity to control the locks and therefore building access. You integrate REX buttons into the existing system. The usual location of these buttons is near the exit door on the indoor side of the premises.

REX system includes a control button that anyone who is inside the premises can press. Pressing it releases the fail-safe electric lock and opens the door so that a person can leave the property.

The default construction of this button includes a stainless-steel plate connected to the access control system. The plate is usually of a dark, stainless-steel color, and the button is mounted on it. The position of the button is at an eye level so that it could be easily noticeable. It also ensures that people can press it easily. The button can be of various colors, but it frequently contains light to inform users where to press.

As soon as the person leaves and closes the door, the REX button returns to its original position. The door buzzer entry system locks the door automatically to maintain optimal safety.

Apart from manual REX buttons, you also have components equipped with motion sensors. These devices have sensors that trigger any movement in the observed area around them. As soon as they notice that a person is getting close to the door, the sensors mimic the press of a button. It sends a signal to the buzzer system to unlock the door and allow the person to pass. Once the door is closed, they automatically lock again.
