What’s the Difference Between Fire Exit Hardware & Panic Hardware?
Fire Exit Hardware
Essential elements for fire-rated exit doors: To prevent the spread of smoke and flames, it's always nececessary to install the fire exit devices on doors that have been specifically rated to withstand fire.
Meet UL 10C (fire rating) and ANSI/BHMA A156.3: These standards ensure the hardware can endure extreme conditions, such as high heat, and still function correctly during a fire emergency.
Panic Hardware
Focuses on emergency egress: Panic devices ensures that doors can be opened easily during an emergency, allowing for quick evacuation. However, these systems are not necessarily fire-rated.
Common in non-rated doors: Panic devices are typically used on doors that do not require a fire rating.
