Looking for a fast exit?
The Briton 500 Series of panic exit hardware has undergone a radical transformation enabling devices to be fitted in just seven minutes, half the time of the existing range.
The improved range, from Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, features a new patented cable system for easier on site adjustment and maximum accuracy during installation. Both the 560 pushbar and 570 touchbar versions come with a self-adhesive template for correct fixing first time, significantly reducing the time it takes to fit the fire exit devices. The simple and secure snap-on covers complete the installation quickly and easily, giving the devices a modern finish which complements other Briton products - such as the 376 Series of panic hardware.
The 570 Touchbar has been ergonomically redesigned, making it easier to grip the bar when pulling the door closed. In addition, the pullman latches provide a smooth and quiet closing action making the exit particularly suitable for doors in noise-sensitive areas, such as schools and hospitals.
The 500 Series can be purchased as a modular system, making specification, ordering and stock handling easier. The buyer simply needs to choose which panic device they require and then select one of the locking kits available from the range.
To optimise security both latches and pullmans feature anti-thrust devices, preventing unauthorised retraction of the latchbolts, while the modular design allows for varying levels of multi-point locking. All options are available with alarm micro-switches and conform to EN 1125. A range of accessories is also available including hold open kits, easy clean sockets, pullman extension kits and strikes.
