Product catalog summary
Panic Hardware - Introduction
The document introduces panic exit hardware designed for immediate escape, emphasizing the importance of exceeding performance and safety standards. The Briton 560, 570, and 580 Series offer modular solutions for panic exit applications, while the Briton 376 Series provides immediate escape features. Von Duprin exit devices cater to heavy-duty applications, meeting EN 1125, ANSI A156.3, and UL standards. The hardware includes various configurations like vertical panic bolts, reversible rim panic latches, and motorized touch bar solutions, all compliant with EN 1125 or EN 179 and CE marked.
Performance Levels
The hardware is categorized into five performance levels, from very heavy-duty solutions with electric latch retraction (Level 5) to low-medium specification exit solutions (Level 1).
Choosing the Right System
Selection depends on whether a panic or emergency exit solution is needed, considering aesthetics, EN standards compliance, latching security, usage frequency, and additional features like hold-back or alarm connections.
Types of Exit Hardware
Various exit devices are available, including touch bar, push bar, and push pad devices, each designed for immediate escape without requiring a key.
Panic Hardware - Legislation
Compliance with EN 1125 or EN 179 and CE marking is mandatory. EN 1125 applies to public areas requiring minimal effort for escape, while EN 179 is for low occupancy environments with trained personnel. The document details the classification codes and testing criteria for these standards.
