Panic Push Bar Exit Device

A Fire Escape Door Push Bar, commonly known as a panic bar or exit device, is a critical life-safety hardware component designed to allow occupants to exit a building quickly and safely during emergencies such as fires, power failures, or other hazardous situations. It is installed horizontally across the interior side of an escape or emergency exit door and is engineered to unlock and open the door instantly when pressure is applied to the bar. In crowded environments such as shopping malls, schools, hospitals, cinemas, stadiums, offices, and hotels, people may need to evacuate simultaneously.  Traditional door handles or locks can slow evacuation, especially if users are unfamiliar with the door hardware or if panic causes confusion.  A push bar eliminates these risks by providing a large, easy-to-locate activation surface that responds immediately to pressure.

Fire Escape Door Push Bar - Product Features & Advantages

• 3-Point Latching System: The DDPD036 fire escape door push bar features a robust 3-point latching system that secures the door at the top, center, and bottom. This design significantly enhances door stability and fire escape safety by ensuring the door remains firmly closed under normal conditions while allowing immediate release during emergencies. In fire or panic situations, occupants can exit with a single push action, ensuring fast, intuitive egress while maintaining compliance with fire safety requirements.
• Durable Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel, the fire escape push bar is designed to withstand high stress, frequent use, and fire-related conditions. The steel construction provides excellent resistance to deformation, impact, and heat exposure, ensuring consistent performance in emergency exits. This durability makes the device suitable for high-traffic environments where fire doors must remain reliable over long service periods.
• Single & Double Door Compatibility: The push bar is engineered to support both single and double fire door configurations, offering flexibility across different building layouts. Whether installed on a standalone emergency exit or integrated into a pair of fire-rated doors, the device ensures consistent fire escape functionality. This versatility simplifies product selection and installation planning for contractors and project managers.
• High-Visibility Color Options: Available in Red and Black finishes, the DDPD036 accommodates both safety visibility and architectural integration needs. The red finish enhances visibility in emergency situations, clearly indicating exit points during low-visibility conditions such as smoke-filled corridors. The black finish provides a more discreet appearance that complements modern Door Handles and interior design schemes while maintaining fire escape functionality.
• Integration with D&D Door Hardware Ecosystem: The fire escape door push bar is designed to work seamlessly with D&D Door Closers, Stainless Steel Door Stops, and Door Accessories. This system-level integration ensures synchronized operation between egress hardware and door control components, resulting in a complete, reliable fire safety solution that improves performance, simplifies maintenance, and enhances long-term safety.

Fire Escape Door Push Bar - Installation Steps

1. Prepare Fire Escape Door & Frame: Before installation, verify that the fire escape door meets the required dimensions, with a door width between 650mm and 1500mm and a maximum door height of 2210mm, ensuring compatibility with the DDPD036 specifications. Prepare the door and frame, and gather necessary tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and hex key to ensure a smooth installation process.
2. Mount Push Bar Assembly: Install the push bar assembly onto the door according to the installation guide. Carefully align the device with existing Door Hinges and Door Locks to ensure optimal fire safety functionality and smooth door operation. Accurate positioning is essential to guarantee reliable latching and effortless emergency release.
3. Adjust 3-Point Latching Mechanism: Once mounted, calibrate the 3-point latching system to achieve secure door closure while maintaining immediate release capability. Proper adjustment ensures that all latch points engage correctly under normal conditions and disengage simultaneously with a single push during emergencies.
4. Integrate with Fire Safety Hardware: Connect the fire escape push bar with compatible Door Locks and Door Closers to create a coordinated fire safety system. This integration ensures controlled door closing, secure locking during daily use, and uninterrupted emergency egress functionality when required.
5. Test Fire Egress & Security Functionality: After installation, conduct thorough testing to verify one-touch egress operation, latching security, and compatibility with other door hardware elements. Simulate emergency conditions to ensure the device meets fire safety protocols and delivers reliable performance when it matters most.
