Description
Exidor 293 Silver Push Pad Panic Bolt EN 179
Ensuring the safety of your personnel requires hardware that balances rapid exit functionality with robust security. The Exidor 293 Silver Push Pad Panic Bolt EN 179 represents a refined engineering solution designed for controlled environments. This hardware is specifically intended for use by trained staff who possess a clear understanding of fire safety protocols and established escape routes.
When seconds matter in a workspace, the reliability of your door hardware is non negotiable. This unit provides a streamlined operation that ensures swift egress during emergencies while maintaining a professional aesthetic that suits modern commercial interiors.
This product is designed exclusively for professional settings where occupants are trained in emergency procedures. It is not suitable for installation in areas accessible to the general public or untrained individuals.
Mechanical Physics and Operational Reliability
The mechanical integrity of this panic bolt is built upon the principles of efficient force distribution. When the push pad is engaged, the internal lever mechanism converts horizontal pressure into a vertical movement that retracts the bolt head instantly.
The internal components are manufactured from high grade steel to prevent material fatigue over time. You can rely on this equipment to maintain its structural tension even after thousands of cycles. The design avoids unnecessary friction points, ensuring the mechanism remains smooth and responsive.
- The internal spring mechanism is calibrated to provide sufficient resistance to prevent accidental activation while remaining easy to depress under physical duress.
- The silver finish serves as a durable protective layer against oxidation and surface wear.
- Precision engineering ensures that the bolt maintains alignment with the keep or floor socket even if the door frame undergoes minor seasonal expansion or contraction.
Step by Step Operational Workflow
Understanding the interaction between the user and the hardware is vital for safety compliance. In an emergency, the user approaches the door and applies direct pressure to the central push pad area.
The energy transferred from the hand to the pad triggers the spring loaded linkage inside the housing. This action causes the bolt to retract into the door casing, effectively disengaging the lock from the floor or frame.
Once the pressure is released, the bolt is designed to reset automatically when the door is closed. This provides a secure seal that prevents unauthorised access from the exterior while ensuring the route remains ready for the next activation. The tactile feedback provided by the pad gives the operator confidence that the mechanism has successfully functioned.
Ergonomic Health and Regulatory Compliance
Occupational health and safety standards demand hardware that reduces physical strain during operation. The Exidor 293 Silver Push Pad Panic Bolt EN 179 is designed with an ergonomic profile that allows for activation with a simple palm or forearm motion.
This is critical in environments where visibility might be reduced or where the user may be carrying equipment. By conforming to EN 179 standards, this device ensures that your building remains compliant with strict fire escape legislation. It bridges the gap between high level security and the urgent need for safe building evacuation.
- The unit is compliant with EN 179 regulations, making it the standard choice for emergency escape hardware in private premises.
- Its intuitive design prevents confusion during high stress situations, as the pad provides a clear focal point for egress.
- The hardware reduces the risk of entrapment by providing a consistent and reliable mechanical path for door release.
Commercial ROI and Long Term Value
Investing in quality hardware is a strategic decision for any facility manager. While lower cost alternatives may seem attractive initially, they often result in frequent replacement cycles and increased maintenance overheads.
This model is built to endure the rigours of a busy warehouse or private office space. By choosing professional grade hardware, you protect your business from the liability associated with failing escape systems. The durability of these components means that your initial investment is spread over a long operational lifespan.
Furthermore, the reduction in maintenance calls saves significant administrative time. When you choose hardware that is known for its resilience, you ensure that your facility remains secure and compliant without the need for constant supervision or repair services.

Professional Installation Advice
To ensure optimal performance, the Exidor 293 Silver Push Pad Panic Bolt EN 179 must be installed by a qualified professional. A level door and properly aligned strike plate are essential for the bolt to operate without binding.
During the installation process, ensure that all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer specifications. Periodic inspection of the mechanism is recommended to confirm that no debris has accumulated in the strike or the push pad housing. Maintaining a clean environment around the hardware prevents premature wear and ensures that the device functions perfectly when required.
