Allegion's Outdoor Defense Option Enhances Exit Devices and Combat Cellular Signal Jammers
Allegion US has introduced a new feature, the Outdoor Defense (OUT) option, for Von Duprin exit devices. This innovation is designed to protect exit hardware in exterior door applications, safeguarding against environmental challenges such as moisture, temperature variations, and corrosion [1][2].
Key features and benefits of the Outdoor Defense option include:
- Environmental Protection: Designed to resist moisture intrusion, withstand temperature fluctuations, and prevent corrosion, thereby increasing the longevity and reliability of exit devices used outdoors [2].
- Compatibility: Available for Von Duprin 98/99 exit devices, allowing seamless integration with these popular panic exit hardware models [1].
- Security and Performance: While addressing extreme outdoor environments, the option maintains the standard performance and security requirements expected from Von Duprin devices [1][2].
The Outdoor Defense option is applicable for the 98/99 Series rim and surface vertical rod exit devices, making it suitable for various outdoor conditions such as courtyards, perimeter security, rooftops, and patios. Additionally, the option now offers several electrical options, including Latch retraction (QEL), alarmed exits (ALK), delayed/controlled egress (CX), and monitoring (RX and LX) [3].
Meanwhile, DMP has introduced JamAlert, a detection device designed to combat the growing threat of illegal cell jammers. These devices leave security systems vulnerable, making solutions like JamAlert essential for maintaining secure communication channels [4]. The growing usage of cellular signal jammers necessitates a solution like JamAlert [5].

Marli Williams, general manager, Exits & Door Controls at Allegion, stated that the Outdoor Defense option enhances the durability and performance of the 98/99 Series and offers additional protection for critical components against weather conditions [2].
The Outdoor Defense option sets a new standard in exterior security solutions, reflecting Allegion's dedication to engineering excellence and customer satisfaction [6]. With this innovation, Allegion US is reinforcing its commitment to providing reliable security solutions in outdoor environments [7].
