Panic doors are designed to provide quick and easy exit during emergencies, featuring a push bar or panic bar as the primary opening mechanism. The hardware on these doors prioritizes usability and accessibility in urgent situations.
The panic bar allows the door to be opened with minimal force (around 15 lbs) - even leaning on the bar can open it. Additional features like door closers and releases can be added for convenience.
For panic doors located on fire breaks or fire walls, all accessories must be fire-rated, able to withstand high temperatures for a specified duration, typically around 3 hours. As these doors are intended for effortless opening, deadbolts and electromagnetic locks cannot be installed.
