Frequently Asked Questions

What is panic hardware?

Panic hardware is fitted to emergency exit doors, allowing occupants to quickly and easily open the door in the event of an emergency. It is commonly used in commercial, educational, healthcare and public buildings.

What is the difference between a panic bar and a panic bolt?

A panic bar is fitted across the width of a door and is operated by pushing the horizontal bar. Panic bolts are typically used on the inactive leaf of double doors and release the top and bottom bolts when the operating bar is pressed.

How do I choose the correct panic hardware?

The correct panic hardware depends on the door type, whether it's a single or double door, the expected occupancy of the building and the application. Always check the product specification and ensure the selected hardware is appropriate for your project and any applicable regulations.
