Commercial face-fixed panic hardware is a type of door hardware that is commonly used in commercial and public buildings to provide a safe and easy means of exit in the event of an emergency. It is installed on the interior side of a door and consists of a bar or lever that is mounted horizontally across the door, with fixing points that are visible on the face of the door.
The term "face-fixed" refers to the way the hardware is mounted on the door. Unlike concealed hardware, which is hidden from view, face-fixed panic hardware is attached to the face of the door, where it is easily visible and accessible. This makes it easy for people to locate and use in an emergency.
Commercial face-fixed panic hardware is designed to comply with specific safety standards and building codes. In addition to providing a quick and safe means of exit, it also helps to prevent injuries and fatalities that can occur when people panic and try to escape through windows or other non-designated exits.
Commercial face-fixed panic hardware comes in a variety of brands, from straightforward push bars to more intricate systems with alarms, automatic door openers, and locking mechanisms. In addition to being built to be fire-rated, certain face-fixed panic hardware offers additional protection in the case of a fire, allowing you to escape if required.
One of the benefits of face-fixed panic hardware is its ease of installation. Because the hardware is mounted on the face of the door, it can be easily fitted onto existing doors without the need for extensive modifications or special tools.
Overall, commercial face-fixed panic hardware is an essential component of building safety, providing a safe and reliable means of exit in the event of an emergency.
