Welcome to Crothers Security & Fire’s dedicated page on panic exit devices. Our mission is to ensure that your premises are equipped with the most reliable and compliant emergency exit solutions, providing safety and peace of mind for all occupants. Here, we delve into the critical aspects of panic exit devices, highlighting industry standards, renowned brands, and the importance of proper installation and maintenance.

Understanding EN1125 & EN 179 Standards

EN1125: This European standard is specifically designed for panic exit devices that are intended for use on doors in public buildings, where people are not familiar with the building’s layout and might not have received any training in emergency evacuation procedures. EN1125 devices must be operable with a single action via a horizontal push bar or touch bar. This makes them ideal for environments with high traffic, such as shopping centers, sports arenas, and educational institutions.

EN 179: In contrast, EN 179 is suited for emergency exit devices on doors where the building occupants are familiar with the emergency exit routes and procedures. These devices can be operated by a lever handle or push pad, requiring a single action to open the door. They are typically used in workplaces, private buildings, and other environments with controlled access and lower traffic.

Choosing the Right Device for Your Needs

Selecting the appropriate panic exit device depends largely on the specific requirements of your building:

  • High Traffic Doors

    For doors that experience high volumes of traffic, such as in commercial or public buildings, devices compliant with EN1125 are essential. These devices ensure quick and easy egress for large numbers of people, reducing the risk of congestion and panic during an emergency.

  • Low Usage Doors

    In settings where doors are used less frequently and occupants are familiar with the building layout, EN 179 devices may be more appropriate. These are often found in office buildings, private complexes, and restricted areas.

Importance of Door, Frame, Hinges, and Alignment

Ensuring the safe operation of panic exit devices goes beyond the device itself. The condition of the door, frame, hinges, and their alignment are all critical factors:

  • Door Condition

    The door must be in good condition without any warping or damage that could impede its operation.

  • Frame

    The door frame must be secure and free of any obstructions or damage that could affect the door’s movement.

  • Hinges

    Properly installed and maintained hinges are vital for ensuring the door opens smoothly and fully in an emergency.

  • Alignment

    Correct alignment of the door with its frame and the panic exit device ensures that the device operates correctly, providing unobstructed egress.
