Selecting the Right Panic Exit Device
BS EN 1125 vs BS EN 179 — Use Cases, Door Types & Traffic
For public-facing escape routes where users are unfamiliar with the building, choose BS EN 1125 panic bars (full-width crash bars for intuitive egress). For staff-only routes, BS EN 179 push pads are appropriate. Consider door leaf size, single vs double doors, and whether you need a single point panic latch or two/three point vertical bolts for additional security. Pair with an Outside Access Device (OAD) where controlled entry is required. For smoother operation and certification assurance, keep the inside device and outside access kit from the same brand (e.g., Briton, Exidor, Carlisle Brass (Euro Spec), ISEO, Zoo Hardware).
Integrate with related fire door components to support compliance and longevity: fit suitable Door Closers to ensure reliable latching and closing, and use Fire & Acoustic Seals to help maintain door integrity and comfort.

Specification Help & Retrofit Advice
Crash Bars, Push Pads, OADs & Multi-Point Solutions
Upgrading a fire exit or planning a new fit-out? Prioritise high-traffic emergency exit door hardware with durable mechanisms and low maintenance. For double door sets, pick two- or three-point vertical bolts to secure head and floor; for single leaves, a single point panic latch may suffice. Choose finishes (silver anodised, SSS, black, white) to match adjacent ironmongery. Retrofitting? Measure clear opening, stiles, existing strike positions and confirm the door closer power size.
Tie the hardware into a full fire door solution: Door Closers for reliable closing forces and Fire & Acoustic Seals for performance and comfort.
