Frequently asked questions about emergency or panic exit doors
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.
