Which device automatically authorizes an exit from a secure area without requiring credentials or triggering an alarm?

• A. Request-to-exit device
• B. Push button switch
• C. Panic alarm
• D. Door closer

Answer: (A)

The device being described is a request-to-exit mechanism. Its job is to let people leave a secured area without presenting credentials or triggering an alarm, by unlocking the door for egress when someone approaches or uses a simple exit action. It integrates with the access control system to allow safe, automatic authorization to exit while maintaining security for entry. A push button switch requires a deliberate action to exit, so it isn’t automatic. A panic alarm is designed to alert during emergencies and typically triggers alarms, not to authorize normal egress. A door closer merely helps the door close after you pass through; it doesn’t unlock or authorize exit.
