Push Bars and Bolts

Push Bars and Bolts

During emergency evacuations, our push bars and bolts help ensure a smooth and swift exit from buildings. Designed for use on emergency exit doors, these push bars seamlessly open doors whilst also denying external access. This adds a layer of security for commercial buildings by preventing unauthorised access. When you push the pad or bar, you’re also pushing open the door, which makes it all part of the same movement.

In the midst of panic, a crowd of people all heading towards the fire exit door won't become congested. With our fire exit door hardware, this fire exit process couldn't be simpler. Simply push the bar and open the exit doors, helping to get occupants to safety quickly and easily.

Easy to Use Under Pressure

Amid high-stress situations, people don't always respond calmly, which makes push bars and bolts a reliable choice. Their intuitive function helps people act quickly without needing training or instructions. Even in poor visibility or smoky conditions, the horizontal bar is easy to locate and operate.

Commonly installed on fire exit doors in schools, offices, warehouses, and public buildings, our panic bars and bolts support building safety. Whether you manage a small business or a large facility, fitting your exit doors with push bars improves your fire safety strategy. Designed to be on standby until needed, these accessories keep your premises within legal requirements.

You can select between a traditional latch or a push bar, which secures the door at the top and bottom. We also stock external door knobs so that people who have a key can gain access to the building from the outside. It's important to be aware of any fire exit security devices fitted to the door internally.

Adaptable Fire Exit Security

Choose from a standard horizontal push bar or a vertical panic bolt that secures the door at the top and bottom. Both options provide robust security while still offering safe and legal emergency exit access. You can also pair these with external locking devices, such as outside access knobs or levers. This allows keyholders to enter the building without compromising internal safety.

Remember, any added locking devices must not obstruct or delay emergency exit from the inside. Our full range of hardware complies with fire safety legislation, helping to meet both security and safety needs.

Protect Occupants and Prevent Misuse

Push bars are ideal for minimising congestion near exits. During an evacuation, multiple people can safely exit through a single door without delay. At the same time, these devices prevent unauthorised entry from outside, helping to safeguard your premises.

For extra peace of mind, pair your exit hardware with door alarms or tamper seals to monitor misuse during normal hours. Whether upgrading an existing exit or fitting out a new build, our panic hardware provides a budget-friendly solution.
