The K-278B-1110 gives building occupants a clear, two-step activation - lift the door, then pull the handle - reducing accidental pulls while staying simple enough for the general public to operate without instruction.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Pulling the handle breaks a glass rod and trips a toggle switch, latching the handle in the alarm position until the station is deliberately reset with a standard tool - no key to track down or issue to staff. Rugged red Lexan construction with white raised lettering stands up to daily wear in high-traffic areas.
