EKIN focuses on panic & emergency exit devices—from EN 1125 panic bars for public access routes to EN 179 devices for trained-only routes. We pair robust hardware with clear documentation so doors pass inspection and perform reliably in daily use.
We design and supply hardware families for life-safety exits:
Panic Exit Devices (public access): Rim, Vertical-Rod pairs (no centre mullion), and Mortise (flush).
Emergency Exit Devices (trained-only): Push pad/lever.
Accessories: Outside trims, euro cylinders (K/K or K/TT), and strikes & keepers including recessed floor strikes for vertical-rod pairs.

EN 1125 applies to public access routes and requires a full-width touch bar.
EN 179 applies to routes used by trained persons only.
For fire doors, the device + strikes/keepers + fixings must align with the door’s certification.
We commission with the closer fitted and verify three consecutive positive relatches.

Vertical-rod pairs prioritise recessed floor strikes for consistent relatch and durability.
Templates: 100% scale installation PDFs avoid guesswork on fixing centres.
Checklists: UK inspection and maintenance sheets standardise routine checks.
Spare parts: end caps, rod guides, dogging covers (non-fire doors only) keep systems serviceable.

We design for serviceability and longevity—replaceable wear parts, robust finishes and reliable keeper interfaces. Installers should use PPE, protect glazing and floor finishes, and always print templates at 100% scale.
Our devices are installed across schools, retail, warehouses, hospitals & care, hospitality and public buildings.
