Safety + Security

Panic Hardware combined with the SVP line of emergency escape locks

Ennepetal/Germany. Protected against abuse yet instantly operable when danger arises, doors in emergency exits and escape routes are given the highest priority in terms of the equipment specifications applied in major building projects. However, the systems preferred in the international market can sometimes differ from those demanded by the domestic sector. In the international markets, it is predominantly surface-mounted systems that are employed - and the DORMA Panic Hardware systems PHA 2000 and PHB 3000 to EN 1125 with CE marking come into this category.

On the other hand, markets with a high proportion of so-called "emergency escape mortise locks" - such as the German sector - prefer integrated systems on the basis of an automatically engaging emergency escape lock in combination with the external panic bar. Since the introduction of EN 1125 with effect from 1st April 2003, there has been growing interest in integrated systems both in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

At IEM, DORMA is presenting a prototype of an integrated solution comprising a modified SVP 5000 lock and the DORMA PHA 2000 pushbar. This solution comes in the form of a modular concept which, following pending tests, will be available as a certified PHA 2500 system ready for shipment. more…
