Concealed escape hardware for aluminium doors

Our range of emergency exit paddle handles for use with mortice locks or concealed vertical rods are ideal for use on aluminium doors in applications where people are familiar with the building layout and hardware. Developed to work with some of our most popular narrow profile mortice lockcases, the range offers solutions that are either euro or round cylinder driven so can be suited with other hardware on site to give a consistent appearance and standardised door preparation. The concealed vertical rod system gives doors a simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance as locking points are hidden within the door structure during door manufacture. Using a paddle handle allows the release to be from either push or pull action of the paddle handle making the range ideal for internal escape doors such as those onto a stairwell which are likely to be inward opening and so require a pull action. Our expertise in aluminium doorset hardware combined with critical EN 179 testing ensures that the paddle handle range is ideal for use in restricted access areas of retail buildings and other commercial applications where aluminum doorsets are popular.
