The essential requirement of this lock is to ensure an always free exit thus allowing the rapid evacuation of a room even if it is locked from the outside and this during an emergency situation and/or panic.
Panic locks always open by pushing in the direction of escape.
A single pressure of the hand on the bar allows the opening of the door without even knowing how it works.
The objective is to get out quickly in order to preserve human lives.
Priority is given to ease of opening by all people, in particular children, the elderly, people with reduced mobility or with disabilities. The places of installation of this lock are the ERP (establishment receiving the public), ERT (establishment receiving workers), IGH (high-rise building) and the dwelling for which doors called emergency exits are present.
Depending on the building and the number of people, it will be necessary to take into account the daily load that will ensure proper operation over time. There are different models to meet the entire market.
