Concept of PANIC EXIT DEVICE

PANIC EXIT DEVICE is an emergency escape device installed on the inner side of the exit door of a public place. In case of emergency, people in the place flock to the exit door, touch and press the trigger surface on the surface of the device, thereby instantly unlocking the door for escape. The definition of PANIC EXIT DEVICE in the American Fire Protection Association (NFPA) "Life Safety Regulations" is: PANIC EXIT DEVICE is "PANIC EXIT DEVICE consisting of a door lock and a device that can open the door lock by applying force in the direction of escape". The English names of emergency exit devices also include a crash bar, panic bar, fire exit bolt, exit bolt, panic devices, push Barr, etc. These appellations express several main features of this escape device:

① For the outside, a key is needed to unlock the door; for those who go out in the room, it is easy to unlock without a key.

②Unlocking and pushing the door can be done in one action.

③It must be installed on the PANIC EXIT DEVICE door facing outward.

④PANIC EXIT DEVICE is the device (trigger bar) that controls unlocking and must be installed on the inside of the door, and its length is not less than 1/2 of the door width.

⑤ PANIC EXIT DEVICE should always maintain the absolute right to open the door (regardless of whether other appliances or locks are installed on the door);

⑥ The thrust in the horizontal direction, no matter whether it is perpendicular to the trigger bar or not, and no matter where it is applied to the trigger bar, should be able to complete the door opening action, that is, the door can be opened without hands.

⑦ The door opener does not need to have any prior knowledge or experience with the escape device (ie, no training is required).

Classification of PANIC EXIT DEVICE

Tight PANIC EXIT DEVICE can be divided into the following 3 categories；

(1) Door bolt type PANIC EXIT DEVICE, installed on the inside of the door, suitable for a single door or double door with removable door lattice.

(2) Door lock type PANIC EXIT DEVICE, the installation method is similar to a standard lock that requires the lock pin device to be installed in the door panel. This emergency exit device can be installed on a single door but is usually installed on a double-door movable door, and a vertical latch-type emergency exit device is usually installed on non-moving doors.

(3) Vertical bolt type PANIC EXIT DEVICE, the vertical bolt type emergency exit device installed on the surface or hidden is usually installed on the inactive door of the double door, so that the inactive door is locked to the door frame, and the door is usually installed on the active door. Lock-type emergency exit device, in this way, the two doors will not be locked with each other, and the two doors can be fully opened. In the case of double doors, if PANIC EXIT DEVICE is used, a removable door lattice is required to ensure that the two doors can be fully opened after the door lattice is removed.
