What’s New

S4000 Series

Commercial Exit Devices

SDC’s S4000RE is a Low-Profile, High Value Electrified Grade 1 Exit Device with stainless steel construction. Not all exterior doors have adequate overhang protection, exposing them to weather and corrosion. The S4000ER is corrosion resistant and comes with Motorized Latch Retraction and Request-To-Exit standard at no charge – making it more cost-effective than competitive exit devices requiring add-on options. Application is as easy as Install – Power – Done.

S5000 Series

Storefront Exit Devices

SDC’s S5000 is a heavy-duty, code-compliant alternative to magnetic locks for storefronts applications that require durability, superior aesthetics, and smooth operation. This UL305 panic-rated exit device is American
Made, featuring all-metal construction that is particularly
suited to aluminum glass entrances for both manual and automated
door openings and new or retrofit applications.
