MANUAL DOOR LIGHT KIT (MDLK)
Industrial LED door status lighting for manual commercial and fire station doors.
The BrinkAlert Manual Door Light Kit (MDLK) is designed for non-motorized commercial doors that require clear visual status indication for safer operation. The system uses industrial-grade LED lighting to display highly visible door status signals, helping improve awareness in fire stations, warehouses, maintenance facilities, and other high-traffic environments.
Unlike motor-operated systems, the MDLK changes LED status using a limit switch or manual switch-based activation. The LEDs remain solid red while the door is closed and change to solid green when the door reaches the fully-open position. Optional limit switch configurations can also provide flashing red indication while the door is moving
Manual Doors Still Create Safety Risks
Many commercial and municipal facilities continue to rely on manually operated doors. While simple and reliable, these openings often provide little or no visual warning when a door is opening or closing.
In busy environments, this can create:
-
Pedestrian traffic conflicts
-
Apparatus movement hazards
-
Limited visibility during emergency response
-
Forklift and equipment awareness issues
-
Increased risk around large overhead openings
Traditional manual doors typically lack any integrated visual signaling system, making it difficult for nearby personnel to immediately recognize the door’s status.
HOW THE MDLK WORKS
Simple Visual Door Status Indication
The MDLK integrates with a limit switch or manual switch to control highly visible LED safety lighting mounted around the door opening.
Optional configurations can add:
-
Flashing red while the door is in motion
-
Audible warning devices
-
Additional signaling accessories
The system is designed to provide immediate visual awareness from long distances and wide viewing angles.
Door Closed
Solid red LEDs indicate the door is fully closed.
Door Fully Open
Solid green LEDs indicate the door is fully open.
