emergency exit devices
Emergency exit devices are safety mechanisms installed on doors to provide a quick and easy way to exit a building during an emergency. These devices are designed to be operated with minimal effort, often requiring just a push or a pull to open the door. They are commonly found in commercial buildings, schools, and public spaces to ensure that occupants can evacuate swiftly in case of fire, natural disasters, or other emergencies.
These devices include features like panic bars, which allow multiple people to exit simultaneously, and alarms that alert security personnel when the door is used. Emergency exit devices must comply with safety regulations, such as those set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), to ensure accessibility for all individuals.
