Course Content

This module is part of our Advanced Course programme:

Relevant British and European Standards (BS & EN) for panic and emergency hardware and their application
How to choose/specify the right hardware for each type of door and scenario
Hands on installation methods covering different types of emergency exit hardware and door types ensuring it is fitted correctly

Why Correct Installation Matters

Poorly installed panic hardware can cause serious problems, including:

Failure to Secure: Misaligned latches can prevent the door from securing properly, failing to protect against fire, smoke, or other hazards.
Failure to Release: Devices improperly positioned or installed might not release for emergency egress, potentially trapping individuals in a dangerous area.
Injuries: Improperly installed components can pose a hazard, leading to cuts, bruises, or even amputations. Over-sized screws, damaged cover plates, and exposed interior components can cause harm.
Legal Ramifications: Incorrect installation can lead to fines, imprisonment for corporate manslaughter (in cases of death), and liability for damages if someone is injured due to the faulty hardware.
Invalidated Certification: Incorrect installation invalidates any certifications or test evidence for the panic hardware.
Damaged Door: Mis-aligned installations or incorrect hardware choices can damage the door itself.
