Panic Break-out or Emergency Doors
The Manusa automatic doors with panic break-out mechanism combine the functionality of a sliding door with the possibility of collapsing the leaves, thus maximising the clear-width area and that an evacuation route with an automatic door complies with regulations in the event of an emergency.
- The door operates in normal, sliding and automatic mode. In the event of an emergency, the leaves fold back towards the outside when pushed on manually.
- The leaves fold back at the sides to provide a wide clear width evacuation area.
- For public buildings such as airports, stations or large areas, or in places where there is an occasional need for an access area with dimensions larger than normal.
- Panic break-out systems with framed leaves: offer high resistance and durability; therefore, they are ideal for entrances with a heavy flow of people.
- Panic break-out system with transparent leaves: it offers the safety of the panic break-out mechanism without having to sacrifice the aesthetics provided by the transparency of the glass without vertical profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do panic break-out doors function?
The working mechanism of emergency doors with a panic break-out system is very straightforward. They look like normal sliding doors; however, in the event of an emergency, the leaves can swing open and fold back on themselves when manually pushed outwards, providing a much wider evacuation route. This means people can exit the building safely, without shoving, causing stampedes or forming agglomerations that often prove so very dangerous in these situations.
Where can emergency doors be installed?
They should generally be installed in public spaces with a capacity of more than 50 people, for example in hotels, hospitals, cinemas, libraries, and so on. What is more, they are mandatory in commercial premises measuring over 1,000 m2. Emergency doors must provide an exit to the street, be well signposted, well illuminated and must never be obstructed.
