Panic Bar Door Handles — Safe and Quick Exit in Emergency Situations
Panic bar door handles are an essential safety feature, providing immediate and intuitive door operation in emergency situations. Thanks to their ergonomic design and ease of use, they allow people to evacuate quickly and safely, even under stress or in a hurry. Designed to comply with fire safety and evacuation regulations, they are suitable for intensive use in public spaces such as schools, offices, and hotels.
The requirements for panic exit doors are defined in the European building standard EN 1125.
A panic situation refers to conditions in which the lives of a large group of people or an unorganized crowd are at risk. Factors that may intensify panic can also be present, such as heavy smoke, darkness, or the presence of unfamiliar and threatening individuals. A typical example is a fire in a cinema, where visitors are unfamiliar with evacuation routes and, under dangerous conditions, will rush to leave the building in a disorganized manner and are very likely to succumb to general panic.
