DescriptionThe ExitGuard 1 is an emergency exit steel doorset with a single door leaf for use on the external fabric of any building, purpose made to the perfect size for your project.
Standard maximum width is 1470mm wide and 2970mm high for a single leaf door.
Double doorsets (External - 2) are 2860mm wide and 2970mm high for their maximum sizes.
A fully compliant and certified emergency exit door with the correct panic hardware is an essential part of any commercial building fire exit strategy, but it is still an external door on any building too, which means it needs to protect well against weather, heat and cold and attempted forced entry from outside.
The door also benefits from having good standard levels of thermal insulation, important for any external steel doorset and also for energy conservation and newer building regulations in the UK.
Thermal Performance:
Tested and achieving a rating of 3.1W/m2K based on a door size of 1090mm x 2090mm WxH – values may vary slightly depending on size and finished colour of doorset.
Reduced U-value doors also available with U values to 1.3W/(m2K) (non fire rated)
SpecificationMade to Measure
Samson ExitGuard steel doorsets are made to order at our UK factory and are available in a wide range of sizes. This emergency fire exit doorset is a complete door and fixing frame with all relevant ironmongery, locking and door closers supplied and fitted (some closers/handles supplied to fit on site).
Easy to Fit
The door has been designed to make installation as easy as possible with an industry special of an adjustable outer frame section to take up any discrepancies in the aperture when fitting.
Durable
The steel doorsets have door blades manufactured from two 1.2mm corrosion resistant steel sheets lockformed together by two 1mm bonding skins of Aluzinc formed around a rigid honeycomb core using a no-weld construction.
Our external steel doorsets have 1.5mm thick steel frame too, with thicker steel specification available on request.
Strong, versatile and cost effective
The versatility of our Samson ExitGuard steel doorsets makes them suitable for use in a wide range of external applications from schools, warehouses, factories and offices to car parks and supermarkets.
Our Samson ExitGuard doorsets are supplied fully assembled with hardware fitted as standard which, when combined with our adjustable fixing feet and variable sub-frame, drastically reduces the installation time on site, which in turn adds value to a project.
The single fix design of our doors can offer greater cost savings when priced against overall installation times for timber doors, and the inherent durability of steel means that in areas of high traffic or potential abuse the 'whole life' cost of a steel doorset significantly outweighs that of a timber doorset and has a 10 year anti-corrosion guarantee (subject to site location).
Powdercoating, patterns and stainless steel finishes.
ExitGuard doors are available polyester powdercoated as standard in one of over 50 colours. Alternatively, doors can be polyester powdercoated in any BS or RAL colour.
The ExitGuard doors are also available in stainless steel, with brushed, polished and patterned finishes available. Alternatively, our external doors are available unfinished for site finishing.
Panic Hardware
Our ExitGuard steel doorsets can be fitted with a range of panic hardware in order to comply with BS EN 1125 and BS EN 179 standards.
We can fit a range of panic hardware for both emergency applications where the exit door is in a low occupancy environment and will only be used by trained personnel, and for panic applications where the exit door is used by the public and provides 'safe and effective escape through the doorway with the minimum effort and without prior knowledge of operation'.
We can also fit a range of outside access devices to provide practical, controlled, and durable access to secure premises.
Vision Panels
To comply with Part M of the Building Regulations 2004, doors across circulation routes should have visibility glazing.
ExitGuard doorsets can be fitted with a wide range of clear laminate vision panels, with custom sizes and glass types available to suit your specific requirements. Our vision panels are constructed from 1mm cold rolled steel, and screwed together from one side.
Louvre Panels
The Samson ExitGuard doorsets can also be fitted with a wide range of louvre panel options.
Our standard louvre offers 50% air flow, with louvre blades constructed to stop birds. Galvanised insect and fly mesh are also available as optional extras.
Side and Over Panels
We offer a range of side panels and over panels for our Samson ExitGuard single and double doors. Panels can be solid, hinged, removable, flush, glazed or louvered depending on your specific requirements.
Locking and Handle Solutions
The ExitGuard steel doorsets can be fitted with a wide variety of mortice locks and latches, with all lock cases tested to BS EN 12209 and all lever furniture tested to BS EN 1906.
