Illuminated Door Release Push Button SCOT BT-4N, SCOT, model BT-4N

SCOT BT-4N is an illuminated door release push button designed for integration with door control and access systems. The unit features a tactile push button with built-in illumination to ensure visibility in dimly lit entrances and corridors. It is intended for surface mounting near doors and interfaces with electric strikes, magnetic locks and access control panels to provide a manual release function when required.

Advantages

The illuminated design improves user recognition of the release point in low-light conditions while the durable actuator offers reliable mechanical operation over repeated use. The compact, surface-mount enclosure simplifies installation near door frames and keeps wiring accessible for connection to standard access control equipment. The clear visual indicator reduces uncertainty for users and assists in compliance with basic accessibility and safety practices.

Suitable for

• Access control systems using electric strikes or maglocks
• Entrances and internal doors in offices, residential buildings and service areas
• Locations requiring a visible manual release point for visitors or staff

When it may not be suitable

This push button is designed for manual release and does not replace a full access control reader or keypad where credential-based entry is required. It is not intended as a primary security device for high-risk environments without additional control and monitoring equipment. For flush-mount or vandal-resistant applications, a different model with specific mechanical protection may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Function: illuminated momentary push button for door release
• Mounting: surface mount suitable for installation adjacent to doors
• Compatibility: designed to interface with electric strikes, magnetic locks and standard access control panels
• Illumination: integrated indicator for visibility in low light

How to use

Mount the SCOT BT-4N in a visible and reachable location near the door on a flat surface. Connect the button wiring to the access control panel or door release relay according to the panel manufacturer’s wiring diagram, ensuring correct polarity for the illumination circuit if applicable. Use the button for manual release: press and hold or momentarily press as required by the connected locking mechanism. Verify operation during commissioning and test illumination and release function under low-light conditions.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your electric strike, maglock or access control panel wiring and voltage levels
• Decide whether surface-mount installation suits the door frame and strike location
• Check that illumination voltage and polarity match your system or controller outputs

Usage recommendations

Use the SCOT BT-4N as a clearly marked manual release point in access-controlled areas. Regularly inspect the button for mechanical wear and test both the illumination and release function during maintenance checks to ensure reliable operation.
