ExitGuard Secure: Higher Security Emergency Exit
Remote Location Protection. Certified Escape. Fortified Design.
The Samson ExitGuard Secure is an enhanced emergency exit doorset designed specifically for vulnerable building perimeters. While standard fire exits provide basic security, they are often located in "blind spots"—rear alleyways, secluded courtyards, or remote industrial sides—making them a prime target for opportunistic burglars.
This door solves that vulnerability. It bridges the gap between a certified Panic Escape door (BS EN 1125/179) and a heavy-duty Security door, giving you the best of both worlds: instant egress for your staff, and a formidable barrier against forced entry.
Why Upgrade to 'ExitGuard Secure'?
Standard fire exits are secure, but the 'Secure' model adds critical reinforcements for high-risk zones:
- Isolated Locations: Perfect for rural warehouses, rear-of-store exits, or unlit alleyways where thieves have time to work undisturbed.
- Anti-Pry Protection: Features a full-height astragal (cover strip) that conceals the lock latch and prevents crowbar attacks on the gap between the door and frame.
- Reinforced Hardware: Compatible with high-security multi-point panic hardware that bolts the door at the top, bottom, and centre, offering 3x the resistance of a standard single-point latch.
Custom Sizing
Manufactured to order for a perfect structural fit:
- Max Width: 1460mm (Single Leaf).
- Max Height: 2960mm.
Performance Without Compromise
Despite the extra armour, compliance remains our priority. The door is fully certified for fire escape use.
Weather & Thermal:
A high-performance external barrier, the door includes full weather sealing to protect against wind and rain, alongside excellent thermal insulation properties to meet modern energy efficiency standards.
Construction:
Built on a heavy-duty steel chassis with a bonded core, the leaf offers superior impact resistance compared to timber or composite alternatives. The frame features integrated dog-bolts that lock the hinge side solid, even if the hinges are cut.
Technical Specification: Samson ExitGuard Secure
The ExitGuard Secure is a custom-engineered barrier. While it does not hold a specific LPS 1175 rating (see our Defender Extreme range for rated doors), it is significantly up-armoured compared to a standard fire exit. It relies on brute strength—thicker steel, heavy-duty hinging, and attack-resistant cores—to deter opportunistic break-ins.
1. Enhanced Construction
| Door Leaf | Material: Upgradeable to 1.5mm or 2.0mm Galvanised Steel skins. Core: Options include a Solid Timber Core for ultimate impact resistance and a solid "thud" feel, or High-Density Mineral Wool. Anti-Jemmy: Full-height folded anti-jemmy flange on the leading edge creates a "wall of steel" with no purchase points for crowbars. |
| Hinging (Security) | Standard: 4x Stainless Steel Dog-Bolt hinges (interlock with frame). High Security Upgrade: Full-length Continuous Hinge (Piano Hinge) available. This eliminates the gap between door and frame entirely on the hinge side, removing a common attack point. |
| Frame | 95mm - 110mm deep single rebate profile. Manufactured from 2.0mm high-tensile steel with adjustable fixing feet for rapid, secure installation. |
2. Security Hardware & Panic Exit
We recommend specific hardware configurations to maximize the security of this doorset:
| Panic Hardware | Compatible with BS EN 1125 (Panic Bar) and BS EN 179 (Emergency Pad). Security Recommendation: Use Multi-Point locking panic bars (3-point locking) rather than single-point latches to secure the door at the top, bottom, and centre. |
| External Access | Best Practice: For maximum security, specify with No External Access (blank outer face). Controlled Access: If entry is required, we can fit high-security Outside Access Devices (OAD) with shear-off handles that break if forced, leaving the mechanism locked. |
3. Finishes & Aesthetics
- Powder Coating: Polyester Powder Coated (PPC) to any of 200+ RAL or BS colours.
- Stainless Steel: Available in Brushed, Polished, or Patterned Stainless Steel for extreme durability or architectural requirements.
- Unfinished: Available in Zinc Primed finish for site painting.
4. Configuration & Sizes
| Configuration | Max Width | Max Height |
|---|---|---|
