Essex HET-K-PTO Hand-E-Tap Programmable Touch Switch "Push to Open" Graphic, Black Bezel

Deliver reliable, ADA-compliant activation for doors and controlled entries with the Essex HET-K-PTO Hand-E-Tap push switch. Designed for commercial security and access control, this piezoelectric push plate delivers consistent performance in high-use or harsh environments — operable by a light tap, gloved hand, elbow or cane. Installers benefit from field-programmable outputs (timed or toggle) and selectable audio and illumination feedback for intuitive user confirmation and simplified commissioning.

Built from stainless steel with a vandal- and weather-resistant face, the HET-K-PTO is sized for a standard single-gang mount (5.1" x 3.4" x 1") and supports 12/24V AC/DC power. Its internal 1 SPDT relay (rated 8A at 30VDC/125VAC) reliably drives electric strikes, magnetic locks or automatic door controls, making it ideal for access control, security, surveillance and building monitoring installations. Backed by Essex Electronics' limited lifetime warranty, it’s a durable choice for schools, hospitals, commercial buildings and transit facilities.
