The design and fitout of buildings should focus on people's safety. Securing exit routes is especially important. Special solutions for exit doors must enable fast escape in an emergency. This means that a user must be able to open emergency exits by hand with minimum effort and without prior knowledge of how to operate the panic exit device. HEWI panic bars can be operated intuitively with minimum effort and therefore fulfil the EN 1125 requirements for panic door devices.

The luminescent elements of the panic bar glow show the escape route out of the building even in the dark. The ambient light saves special pigments which shine in the dark. The panic bar glow works completely without power and improves orientation and safety on escape and emergency routes thanks to its fluorescent elements.
Precise fitting installation is particularly easy due to the telescopic extendability (710 – 1580 mm) of the panic bar. This enables the panic bar to be easily adjusted to the required fixing width. Find out more by watching the video.
With the HEWI panic bar, information on how to operate it is communicated via two senses: The double handle area made of coloured polyamide visualises the handling and it is also perceptible to the touch thanks to the tactile surface. The door opens when pressure is applied to the horizontal bar. By identifying the optimum pressure point according to the "two senses" principle the panic bar fulfils the DIN 18040 requirements for accessible building.
HEWI panic bars are easy and intuitive to use. The gripping area made of high-quality polyamide is available in selected HEWI colours.
