Typical ranges for single/double doors, fire-rated options and accessories. Example BOMs and install notes. Get an itemised quote in £/$. This guide helps UK buyers budget accurately for EN 1125 panic exit devices (public access) and EN 179 emergency exit devices (trained-only). It explains what drives cost, how door types and accessories change pricing, and how to think about total cost of ownership (TCO), not just the purchase price.
Standard & use case:
EN 1125 (touch bar, public access) vs EN 179 (push pad/lever, trained-only).
Door configuration:
Single vs double doors; vertical-rod pairs (no mullion) vs paired rim with a centre mullion.
Device family & finish:
Rim / Vertical-rod / Mortise options; corrosion resistance, aesthetic finishes.
Strikes & keepers:
Head keepers, recessed floor strikes (preferred) or surface strikes (where recessing isn’t feasible).
Re-entry & security:
Outside trims, euro cylinders (key–key / key–thumbturn), keying (KA/MK).
Fire-door approvals & fixings:
Compatibility may influence component and fixing choices.
Installation & commissioning:
On-site labour, closer interaction, rework risk if templates/keepers are off.
Maintenance & spares:
End caps, dogging covers (non-fire doors only), rod guides, protection plates, strikes/keepers.

EN 1125 (public access):
Broader bar assemblies and, for pairs, two-point solutions (vertical-rod), plus head & floor interfaces. Expect more keeper/strike work and commissioning time on pairs.
Families: Rim / Vertical-Rod / Mortise · Double-Door Kits → /products/panic-exit-devices-en-1125/
EN 179 (trained-only):
Compact bolt/latch devices for single internal doors. Generally fewer components than public routes.
Families: Bolt / Latch → /products/emergency-exit-devices-en-179/
If any public access is possible, treat it as EN 1125.
Price ranges are indicative UK retail/trade bands. Actual quotes vary by brand, finish, certification pack, and what’s included in the kit.

Rim panic latch/bar (single door): £45 – £120
Vertical-rod device (two-point, pairs): £110 – £350+
Mortise panic bar (flush aesthetic): £125 – £200+
EN 179 – Trained-only (push pad/lever)
Push pad / latch or bolt (single internal doors): £80 – £130+
Accessories & options
Outside access device (outside trim/lever/knob): £60 – £170+
Euro cylinders (e.g., 35/35; key–key or key–thumbturn): £10 – £65+
Strikes & keepers (head / floor / surface / mullion): £5 – £40+
Double-door kits / combined sets: £180 – £320+ (package-dependent)
Single public door: EN 1125 rim is common; add outside trim & cylinder for controlled re-entry.

Double doors, no centre mullion: EN 1125 vertical-rod pairs with top keeper and recessed floor strike (higher parts count but no mullion).
Links → Vertical-Rod /products/panic-exit-devices-en-1125/vertical-rod/ · Strikes & Keepers /products/accessories/strikes-keepers/
Double doors, with centre mullion: Paired rim with mullion keepers—often service-friendly; may reduce floor works but introduces a mullion component.
Links → Double-Door Kits /products/panic-exit-devices-en-1125/double-door-kits/
Single public door (EN 1125 rim + optional re-entry):
Device £45–£120 + Outside Trim £60–£170 + Cylinder £10–£65 ⇒ £115 – £355+
Double public doors, no centre mullion (EN 1125 vertical-rod pairs):
Device £110–£350+ + Strikes/keepers £10–£40 ⇒ £120 – £390+ (brand/configuration dependent)
Design-led public door (EN 1125 mortise):
Device £125–£200+ + Trim/Cylinder £70–£200 ⇒ £195 – £400+
Staff-only internal single door (EN 179 push pad/lever):
Device £80–£130+ + (if needed) Trim/Cylinder £70–£200 ⇒ £80 – £330+
The figures above cover hardware only, not installation or commissioning.
Outside trims (lever/knob/paddle) and euro cylinders (key–key / key–thumbturn) add cost but enable controlled re-entry from the safe side. Choose cylinder length/profile to sit flush with the escutcheon.
Strikes & keepers: recessed floor strikes generally offer better durability (TCO) on vertical-rod sets; surface strikes suit non-recessable thresholds.
Dogging keys & covers: for non-fire doors only under a written policy; fit lockable covers in high-risk areas.

Double doors, with centre mullion: Paired rim with mullion keepers—often more service-friendly; may avoid floor recessing.

Templates & height: A correct bar/pad/lever height (template) reduces rework.
Keeper engagement: Time spent aligning engagement lines saves call-backs.
Closer interaction: Commissioning with the closer fitted is essential—three consecutive positive relatches.

Plan for monthly checks and after works/events.
Keep consumables on site: end caps, screws, rod guides, dogging covers, protection plates, and common keeper/strike patterns.
Properly seated recessed floor strikes and well-matched cylinders typically reduce long-term spend.

UK: Quotes are typically £ ex VAT; delivery depends on stock and finish.
EU projects: Confirm Incoterms, EU VAT handling, and any door certification implications in your member state.
US/other regions: Check local code equivalence, finish availability, and shipping times (door photos speed up specification).

Notes / Assumptions: _____________________________________________________________
Q1: Why do double doors cost more?
Pairs often need two-point solutions (vertical-rod) or paired rim + mullion and extra keeper/strike work.
Q2: Are mortise panic bars more expensive?
They can be, due to edge preparation and trims, but provide a flush aesthetic.
Q3: Do I need outside trims and cylinders?
Only if controlled re-entry is required. Choose family-compatible trims and a flush cylinder length.
Q4: What saves the most TCO?
Accurate installation (templates, keeper seating), recessed floor strikes on vertical-rod sets, and a simple monthly log.
Q5: Can you price in other currencies?
Yes—share your door photos, counts, fire-door status and re-entry needs. We’ll quote in £ and provide guidance for EU/US if needed.
Send door photos, counts (single/pairs), centre mullion/threshold details, fire-door status, and any re-entry needs. We’ll return an itemised UK quote in £ and a clean bill of materials.
