PanikTürbeschlägen

PanikTürbeschläge, often translated as panic hardware or panic devices, are specialized door hardware designed to allow for safe and quick egress from a building during an emergency. These systems are typically installed on doors that are part of an emergency exit route. The primary function of panikTürbeschläge is to ensure that a door can be easily opened from the inside, even if it is locked from the exterior or if the user is under duress. They achieve this through mechanisms that disengage the locking hardware when a specific action, such as pressing a lever or a push bar, is applied. This is crucial for facilitating rapid evacuation in situations like fires, earthquakes, or other emergencies where panic can set in and inhibit normal operation of a door.

The design of panikTürbeschläge prioritizes simplicity and reliability. They are engineered to operate with minimal force and without requiring complex instructions, making them accessible to individuals of all ages and physical abilities. Common types include push bar systems, where a horizontal bar spans the width of the door and opening it requires pushing the bar inward, and panic bar systems, which are similar but often involve a vertical bar or lever. Regulations in many countries mandate the use of such hardware on public buildings, schools, hospitals, and other places where large numbers of people congregate, to comply with fire safety codes and ensure occupant safety. The materials used are generally durable and resistant to wear and tear to guarantee consistent functionality over time.
