Where is a panic bar mandatory?

On emergency and escape doors in buildings covered by fire regulations. The door must open one-handed, by pushing, with no tools.

Can it be opened from outside?

With a lockable outside lever fitted, yes, using a key. The push-to-open action from inside is preserved regardless.

What is used on a double door?

A paired panic bar system that releases the leaves in the correct sequence — the active leaf first, then the inactive one.

Does a panic bar keep the door locked?

Yes, the door stays locked from outside while always opening with a push from inside. That combination is the point of the device.

Panic Bars

A panic bar lets an emergency exit door be opened one-handed with a push. It is mandatory on escape doors in buildings covered by fire regulations. The catalogue holds 11 models.

Single leaf, double leaf and outside lever

The principle is simple: pressure applied anywhere along the bar releases the lock. Because it does not require finding a handle in the dark, in a crowd or in panic, it is mandatory on escape doors.

Single doors take one bar; double doors use a paired system that releases the leaves in the right sequence. A lockable outside lever lets the door be opened with a key from outside — while the push action from inside keeps working under all conditions.
