Panic Devices in Commercial Buildings

Experience shows us how things should be done. That is why elders are said to be wise, because they have experienced plenty of things. After many unfortunate accidents, humans learned that buildings need to have some sort of system that will allow people to escape quickly from the building if something terrible happens. That’s why now, there are several building codes that people need to stick to before constructing something. The purpose is to increase people’s survival in case of a fire, earthquake or other similar event.

Nowadays, commercial buildings are required to have a number of panic devices that allow people to quickly exit the building without taking too long to open the door through which they’re trying to escape from a disaster. Just imagine hundreds of people trying to exit a building on fire through a door with a deadbolt. Panic would strike and a deadbolt wouldn’t exactly help the cause because it’s harder to open.

That is exactly why panic hardware was created – to increase safety and the chances of survival in a building that is falling apart.
