USA Standard Commercial Emergency Aluminum Glass Escape Door

Any door on an escape route must be readily openable. Accordingly, any such doors should either not be fitted with a lock, latch or bolt or, alternatively, any such fitting must be readily operable without the use of a key in the direction of escape and without requiring more than one mechanism to be manipulated. Although various regulations control the design and installation of fire doors, and units can be manufactured from a number of different materials, providing they are up to code.

Escape doors on the other hand are not fire rated doors and tend to be fitted with push bars to permit rapid evacuation of a building and can be made from aluminium, composite, steel, timber and UPVC as amazingly enough do not have to be fire resistant. Our escape doors should be well signed and illuminated, so can be easily located in a blackout situation. Fire exit doors should open out towards the best place that offers means of escape. Escape doors can also be opened from the outside. Fire exits and fire exit doors must never be obstructed.

The purpose of an aluminium fire exist door is that it allows a quick escape from a building in the event of a fire. Whilst the door can be locked from the outside for security, there is an emergency push bar or panic bar located on the inside to allow people to leave the building in an emergency. Escape doors are not designed to stop the spread of fire as such, but are designed to be opened quickly and easily in an emergency.
