Designed for high-traffic environments where reliability and compliance are paramount, these doors offer peace of mind for building owners, facility managers, and occupants alike.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Unobstructed Egress & Panic Hardware

• Instant Exit Capability: Equipped with high-quality panic bars (push pads) that allow for immediate unlocking and opening with a simple push, even under duress. No keys or complex operations required from the inside.
• ADA Compliant: Designed for easy operation by individuals of all abilities, ensuring universal accessibility during an emergency.
• Outward Opening: All emergency exit doors are configured to open outwards, facilitating a quick and orderly evacuation flow and preventing interior obstruction.

2. Superior Fire Resistance & Life Safety

• Certified Fire Ratings: Available with UL, WHI, or Warnock Hersey certifications for fire resistance ranging from 20 minutes to 3 hours (180 minutes), ensuring containment of fire and smoke spread.
• Intumescent Seals: Optional or standard intumescent strips expand when exposed to heat, sealing gaps around the door to prevent the passage of smoke and hot gases, crucial for fire safety.
• Automatic Closers: Integrated heavy-duty door closers ensure the door automatically returns to a closed and latched position after each use, maintaining fire compartmentation and security.

3. Robust Security & Deterrence

• Heavy-Gauge Construction: Fabricated from durable 18, 16, or 14-gauge galvanized steel for exceptional resistance to forced entry, impact, and vandalism.
• Reinforced Hardware: Features heavy-duty hinges, continuous hinges, and reinforced lock areas to withstand persistent attempts at forced entry from the exterior.
• Optional Alarms: Integrate with audible alarms that activate upon unauthorized opening from the exterior or an emergency exit from the interior, alerting security personnel.
• Anti-Pry Design: Frames and door edges are engineered to minimize pry points, adding another layer of security.

4. Exceptional Durability & Longevity
