Emergency door release

It is a legal requirement that where members of the public are present, final exit doors must be simple to operate.  You will be familiar with mechanical ‘push bar’ devices but electromagnetic door locks with access controls are increasingly being installed in buildings these days. 

These can have a variety of mechanisms for authorised persons to open the door in normal circumstances, for example, swipe card reader, standard looking key, green mushroom button and rocker switch.

Our services include:

• Assessment of premises in respect of fire safety egress
• Installation of electromagnetic systems
• Test and maintenance of existing emergency door release
• Consultation and advice

We will send a qualified and experienced engineer to inspect the premises and to determine the most appropriate door release system in accordance with:

•  
• Numbers of occupants or users of the building (noting age, ability and special requirements)
• Necessity for security of restricted areas
• Restrictions affecting type of emergency door release mechanisms that can be installed

Netelect will maintain, test and repair all door release systems to ensure they are activating correctly and in accordance with all legislation and British safety standards.
