Gary Sadler Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Hi Can anyone advise - customer contacted me to take a look at a upvc outward opening door (designated fire exit) fitted with a strand panic bar, the home has a problem with residents wondering out through this exit, can anyone suggest or advise. I wondered if a maglock connected to the fire alarm system along with break glass box would be acceptable. Any advise much appreciated.

AnthonyB Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Whilst most people fit maglocks and green break glasses strictly speaking this isn't correct as the exit is no longer panic proof. The correct solution is explained here: https://www.dhfonline.org.uk/downloads/download-file-documents.asp?id=54&pos=0&dir=documents&ref=/publications/best-practice-guides/2.htm This is the The Door & Hardware Federation guide to BS EN 13637:2015 Standard for Building hardware. Electrically controlled exit systems for use on escape routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
