Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
On a typical job that means:
- Commissioning and handover
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
