What is concealed aluminium panic hardware?

Easy to fit and clearly legible even in smoky conditions, concealed panic hardware is ideal for new builds and renovations on private and commercial projects, such as retail and hospitality spaces. It can also be retrofitted to the most common current hardware products in the marketplace, making it ideal for RMI projects in the public sector.

How to operate aluminium panic hardware

The key with panic hardware is ease-of-use. As it comes into its own during an emergency, it is vital that it is clear, intuitive, and accessible to as broad a range of people as possible. It should also have the ability to be locked off to prevent unauthorized entry, without compromising building users’ ability to escape.

What is PAS24?

PAS24 is the test method and acceptance criteria for the enhanced security performance of doorsets and windows intended to resist the type of attack normally associated with casual or opportunistic burglars.
