Panic-door hardware

Escape-route doors must be able to be opened easily and fully from the inside within one second using a single movement with a defined level of force.

These requirements are defined and described for all EU countries in the EN 179 and EN 1125 standards. EN 179 specifies the use and requirements for emergency exit devices with handles and push pads.

FSB offers the most extensive range of compliant fittings in the industry. EN 1125 prescribes the use of panic exit devices wherever high levels of public traffic are to be expected and where panic may arise due to unfamiliarity with the surroundings. The fitting package for panic doors comprises a fastening element (lock), a lock receiver (strike plate) and crossbar fitting.

FSB crossbar fitting 77 7980 meets the highest standards of fitness for purpose and reliability. Nevertheless, FSB can only make recommendations on the use of fittings on escape and emergency exit routes. The project planner or local building inspection authorities are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate fittings are used
