Our wanderguard system does not unlock if you push on the door.  You have to push a button at the nurse's station in order to unlock the door or move the resident away from the door.

The Wander Guard bracelet does not prevent leaving tha facility even when Mag Locks are used. If someone pushes on the door for a specific time frame, usually 15 seconds the magnet is supposed to release. If you are using a system like the Wander Guard, make sure you are documenting that you are checking the system for proper functioning and that the sensor are working as well.
