UNION launches new ExiSAFE panic exit device range

We’re thrilled to unveil ExiSAFE, a new range of panic exit devices for use in public and commercial buildings. 

ExiSAFE is a high-quality, durable range of panic exit devices (PEDs), designed, tested and made in the UK. Ideal for public and commercial buildings, the range covers panic and emergency bolt and latch products for single and double doors, along with outside access devices (OADs), for use where doors need to be opened from the opposite side to the PED. 

Providing a fast and safe exit, even after months of being idle, we made sure only products that met tough and exacting standards would be included in the ExiSAFE range. These products have undergone a series of rigorous tests, including testing to over 200,000 cycles, as well as third-party assessments.

ExiSAFE meets all the needs you’d expect from a leading PED range – from use on timber and metal fire doors, to being easily accessible.  Meeting standards such as BS EN 179 or BS EN 1125, for reliable security and safety, the range is also independently certified by Certifire.

The ExiSAFE range consists of several products, including push bar-operated panic latches and bolts, which meet BS EN 1125. These are ideally suited for public buildings.

Push pad-operated emergency latches, bolts, and double door solutions are also available. These products conform to BS EN 179, which means they’re perfect for commercial facilities.

Finally, the levers of ExiSAFE’s knob-operated OADs are designed to work seamlessly with all other products in the range, and feature optional UNION cylinders for additional security to doors.

The entire range is also backed by a 10-year guarantee.

Alison Aston, Category Manager for Architectural Hardware at UNION, said: “We have listened very carefully to our customers in order to create our new range of PEDs.  ExiSAFE offers an easy-to-fit, dependable and high-quality range, made here in the UK.  ExiSAFE has been developed to be an integrated part of our portfolio, providing a complete door hardware solution.”
