  • Panic and emergency exit hardware

    Panic and emergency hardware covers a range of devices installed on escape doors to enable rapid evacuation of a building. Typically in the UK, panic and emergency devices are fitted to final exit doors but they can also be used on internal doors. These doors are normally securely locked to prevent unauthorised entrance into a building but people within a building must always be able to exit quickly and easily in the event of an emergency. Within our portfolio, we offer a complete collection including classic UK styled push bar or touch bar solutions ideal for timber and steel doors, slimline designs which are excellent for use on UPVC or glazed doors, high security units and mortice products for aluminium doorsets. We’re proud that many of our ranges are UK designed and manufactured in our own UK factory to deliver a tailored and proven solution for every exit hardware application
  • Concealed escape hardware for aluminium doors

    Our range of emergency exit paddle handles for use with mortice locks or concealed vertical rods are ideal for use on aluminium doors in applications where people are familiar with the building layout and hardware. Developed to work with some of our most popular narrow profile mortice lockcases, the range offers solutions that are either euro or round cylinder driven so can be suited with other hardware on site to give a consistent appearance and standardised door preparation. The concealed vertical rod system gives doors a simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance as locking points are hidden within the door structure during door manufacture. Using a paddle handle allows the release to be from either push or pull action of the paddle handle making the range ideal for internal escape doors such as those onto a stairwell which are likely to be inward opening and so require a pull action. Our expertise in aluminium doorset hardware combined with critical EN 179 testing ensures that the paddle handle range is ideal for use in restricted access areas of retail buildings and other commercial applications where aluminum doorsets are popular.
