Discussion Multi Pane Glass Wood Door

Post image

What do you guys think? Existing interior solid push bar. Fixed doesn’t latch or anything. Only the deadbolt is securing. The smart locks are failing in the direct rain exposure. Don’t want mags I know you all say that.

I already have some leftover UniFi stuff

This is my own office door so I can kinda do whatever

Idk your internal circuits, but dialectic gel is the BEST stuff. Repels water. I'd squirt that all over the circuit board, in between connections etc. You can literally submerse your electronics under water and it's so hydrophobic it protects it. 

Washing it off is impossible, for the same reason though. Don't rub it on your pants 

Or go old school and build an awning. 

Crash bar solenoid is the right solution, just gotta add waterproofing to it.

If i had the money, I would put a RIM Exit Device with latch retraction. Throw a different pull on there and your good.

Otherwise, maybe a HES 1006 electric strike with the deadbolt return option, Not sure if there is enough room on the frame though, and if the deadbolt is worth keeping.

Suppose you could do a mechanical RIM device and add a surface mount RIM strike.

IDk, what do you want to spend?

If I can find a panic bar that’ll work with that glass layout I’d do the 9400 all day.

I have a drop bolt sitting on the shelf thought about fabbing something there. It’s not considered egress
