What Makes QuietDuo™ LR100 the Smart Retrofit Solution?

1. Motorized ELR: A Proven Leader Since Day One

In 2012 SDC introduced the first motorized retrofit ELR kit to the market with the QuietDuo™ LR100 Series. Unlike older solenoid-based options, motorized ELR operates quieter, with lower power draw and increased durability — making it ideal for busy commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and municipal facilities.

2. Retrofit Without Replacing Exit Devices

Installers in cities from Seattle to Miami appreciate that LR100 kits retrofit select panic and fire-rated exit devices without removing the hardware from the door. This means less downtime, fewer callbacks, and a faster path to access control integration.

3. Accessible Across Brands

The LR100 Series supports a wide range of exit device brands — empowering technicians to electrify doors throughout diverse portfolios of buildings and door hardware layouts. This broad compatibility simplifies specification and inventory for security teams nationwide.

4. Reduced Installation Costs

With motorized technology, installers benefit from significant labor savings, lower power requirements, and no need for door sequencers on paired manual doors — translating into a faster, more efficient install process.
