The code of fire door -Push panic bar

Push-panic bar is a common device on the exit fire door. Emergency hardware is designed to allow people to safely exit a building in the event of an emergency.When used on fire doors, emergency exit hardware, also known as exit devices or fire exit hardware, is designed to provide quick and easy egress for the safe evacuation of building occupants in an emergency. Panic Bar is usually a crossbar installed on the inside of the door, covering most of the width of the door. The user only needs to push the horizontal pole forward, and the door will be unlocked and opened. No need key, rotating handle, or other complex operations, people can unlock the door only through a simple action to facilitate quickly escape. After the door is closed, Panic Bar will automatically restore the lock state to ensure security. The design is easy to operate, and it usually takes a small force (not more than 15 pounds / 67 Newton) to activate the device, which is suitable for various people, including the elderly and children.

Please note that these requirements only apply to locked or latched doors. If the door has push/pull hardware but no lock or latch, these requirements do not apply.

Panic Bar can be used in line with Level Trim installed on the outside, so that the door can be opened from the outside. It is worth noting that there is only a simple lock structure inside the push bar and does not have anti-theft function. Therefore, it is risky to install the Panic Bar's fire door as an anti-theft door.
