Panic bars or emergency hardware?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.

On a typical job that means:

• Commissioning and handover
• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
