The push pad emergency exit range comprises of modular components from the push bar range together with a push pad and options of either vertical or side entry pullmans to give variants of one, two or three point latches or bolts.

For use on French doors, the passive lock should be top and bottom locking (use PH356) with the centre pullman closed off using the plastic clip supplied as part of the kit. The master door (use PH358) should have horizontal locking which will enable both door sashes to open should the passive door be the first door activated.

The modular push pad emergency exit range has been tested and certified to EN 179. This type of device is suitable for offices and premises where people are familiar with the exits and the hardware, therefore a panic situation is unlikely to develop.

The mechanism body, pullmans and vertical rod covers are available in powder coated finishes of silver, black, white or metallic silver. It is also available in satin stainless steel plated finish. The push pad device features a green photoluminescent insert.

Dogging Facility

The modular range is available with or without a dogging facility - please specify at time of ordering. Please note that current legislation of BS EN179 specifies that for fire/smoke door assemblies the emergency device shall not include any form of dogging mechanism. Therefore any device incorporating dogging can be used on escape doors only.

Mircoswitch

The modular range also offers the option of a micro-switch housed in the device. This allows monitoring of the door and access control to be added. Please specify whether micro-switch is required at time of ordering.

Outside Access

Optional outside access devices with lever handle or knob are available in various finishes. These are available as standard or key retaining versions. Where outside access is required, a hole pierced to take an 8mm square spindle and two further holes of 10mm diameter for the screw ports will be required to connect the device and outside together.

Handling of Reversible Devices

All devices can be converted from left hand to right hand in minutes. Simply remove the two screws together with bracket and rotate the arm to the opposite position. Replace bracket and screws. The push pad is simply positioned into aperture of arm and secured with grub screw.
