Emergency exits are one of the most important openings in a building. Employees and visitors must be able to easily evacuate in the event of an emergency.
These doors also must be compliant with building, fire and ADA codes. Since they are perimeter doors, the security of your emergency doors can impact the security of your entire building.
Emergency exit door operational requirements:
- Doors are normally locked
- Access is gained by a valid credential or keypad
- Free egress is available at all times
Innovative solutions for emergency exit doors
A safe and secure emergency exit door includes these smart and innovative solutions exclusively from Allegion:
LCN® Sentronic® closers/holders
- Automatic detection and containment of fire and smoke are the best ways to minimize danger to life and property.
- Patented Sentronic door closer/holders are designed to hold swinging doors open in normal use, and release and automatically close the doors under fire conditions.
- Conform to major building codes and life safety codes.
Von Duprin® exit device with Safety Glow
- In the event of an emergency, facilities can lose power or hallways can fill with smoke making exit devices and signs difficult to see. Safety Glow provides an additional level of visual identification in the event of an emergency.
- Requiring no batteries or electronics, the coating is charged when exposed to light enabling it to show exit door locations in darkness or smoky conditions.
- Developed to meet MEA standards.
- Available on 98/99 and 33A/35A Series exit devices.
Hardware devices of this type are often the subject of inexpensive, poor quality knock-offs—built with sub-standard manufacturing causing them to perform poorly—compromising safety and security. Look for the Von Duprin or LCN name on your product to ensure you are getting hardware you can trust.
Note: These security solutions are designed only as a guide and do not take into consideration local codes and regulations that may be in place. Please contact your local Allegion representative to design a specification to meet your unique needs.
