Specifying the correct emergency exit door depends entirely on who uses the building. Staff who know the escape routes need different hardware compared to members of the general public. Every door must guarantee the fastest possible escape during a fire or other emergency, without compromising your daily security.
Constructing a high quality steel emergency doorset requires precise engineering. The door must remain completely secure from the outside while opening instantly from the inside. Low cost alternatives often just bolt panic hardware onto standard panels. This compromises reliability. We supply fully integrated doorsets tested for demanding commercial environments.
Buyers frequently confuse fire exit doors with fire rated doors. They serve different purposes. A fire exit door provides a rapid physical escape route, while a fire rated door actively holds back flames and extreme heat. Some building regulations require a combination of both. Because most emergency escapes lead directly outside, these doorsets should always hold certification for external use to prevent wind and rain from entering the building. You can also specify enhanced physical security, thermal insulation, acoustic control and vision panels depending on your location.
