Guard Tour Support Center

Effective as of June 1, 2021, Detex Corporation will end our nearly century-old participation in the Guard Tour market.

The responsibility for the management of the sales, service and support for our guard tour products and systems will be transferred to Central Time Clock, Inc. (CTC) in the New York City area. CTC has been selling and supporting Detex guard tour products through three generations of family ownership, and they are totally capable of handling these responsibilities and eager to do so.

Beginning on June 1, 2021, our Guard Tour Sales Channel Partners and End Users may continue to procure Detex guard tour products through CTC. CTC has committed to maintain current pricing in effect at least through the end of 2021.

Contact information for CTC is as follows:

Central Time Clock, Inc.

Long Island City, NY 11101
Phone: (718) 784-4900
Fax: (718) 472-9491

Principal: Hal Reinhardt hal@centraltimeclock.com

Detex Corporation is profoundly grateful to our many loyal distributors and customers who have trusted us to provide you with effective guard tour solutions for nearly a century. We are confident that you can continue to place this same trust in CTC.

EAX-300 Door Prop Alarm

The Detex EAX-300 Series is designed for applications where doors may be used but not held or propped open. Door open times vary from 1 second to 4 minutes (15 second default) and are field selectable. The smaller size makes installation quick and easy.

Adding a door prop alarm is a low cost, desirable solution to propped open doors. They help keep energy costs down by ensuring the doors are closed. An intelligent circuit senses the external magnet location automatically, sounding an alarm when the door has been open too long, and automatically rearms when the door has been closed again; requires no waiting for the key holder to arrive.

Features:

• Secure, tamper resistant housing
• 100dB alarm
• 9VDC battery operated with low battery alert
• LED visual arming indicators
• Can be installed on narrow stile doors

Options:

• Wall mounted or door mounted
• KS – Key Stop – Always armed when key removed
• SI – Status Indicator On
• Weatherized for use on gates or doors that are outdoors
• Gray (GY) or black (BK) housing color
• Several kits available – kits include 1 or 2 white, brown or grey door contacts

Accessories:

• Mortise Cylinder
• 7 pin IC Cylinder Housing

*Comes with limited 3 year manufacturer’s warranty
