The Photoluminescent EXIT Door Handle Marking (EMS-DHM64-E) combines luminous door-hardware identification with a clear EXIT message. Its 6"H x 4"W LaserGlow surface helps identify both the exit function and door-release hardware during low-light emergencies.
Key Features
- EXIT Messaging at Door Hardware: Reinforces the exit function directly where occupants locate and operate the door handle.
- High-Visibility Photoluminescent Material: Glows when normal lighting is reduced or lost to help occupants find exit-door hardware.
- Durable LaserGlow Construction: Made from 0.125" (1/8") thick, non-toxic Rowmark LaserGlow material for long-lasting use.
- Matte, Non-Glare Finish: Provides a clean life-safety marking without unnecessary reflected glare.
- Digitally Printed Graphics: Green EXIT graphics remain prominent against the photoluminescent background.
- 24-Square-Inch Format: Measures 6"H x 4"W, providing a substantial luminous field around door hardware.
- Zero-Energy Operation: Requires no electrical connection, batteries, or backup power.
- Interior or Exterior Use: Suitable for indoor and outdoor qualifying egress-door applications.
Ideal Applications
Use a Photoluminescent EXIT Door Handle Marking where a door within the egress path requires photoluminescent hardware identification and supplemental EXIT messaging.
The marking can support exit stairway, exit passageway, and other qualifying egress-door applications where occupants need to quickly identify both the exit and the hardware used to open it.
Installation
Install the door handle marking behind or immediately adjacent to the door handle so the luminous field remains clearly visible around the hardware and the EXIT message can be readily seen.
Foam tape strips aid installation. Depending on the mounting surface, silicone adhesive may also be appropriate. Follow the installation guide and make sure the marking does not interfere with operation of the door or hardware.
Compliance
Under 2024 IBC Section 1025.2.6.2, qualifying door hardware within required luminous egress paths must be identified with at least 16 square inches of luminous material behind, immediately adjacent to, or on the door handle or escutcheon.
The Photoluminescent EXIT Door Handle Marking measures 6"H x 4"W, providing 24 square inches of photoluminescent material. LaserGlow products in this assortment meet UL 1994 requirements for Luminous Egress Path Marking Systems and are ETL listed to UL 924.
Where additional EXIT graphics are used with a required door hardware marking, confirm applicable building, fire, and life-safety requirements with the authority having jurisdiction.
