FAQ (Panic exit devices EN1125)
Q1: When must I use EN 1125 instead of EN 179?
Public-facing exits, corridors and assembly spaces typically require EN 1125. EN 179 is only for trained-only zones.
Q2: Are EN 1125 devices suitable for fire doors?
Many are, but always verify the device’s fire-door approval and match it with your door certification before drilling.
Q3: How do I handle double doors?
Choose vertical-rod sets for two-point latching. If there’s a centre mullion, pick compatible strikes/keepers or a dedicated double-door kit.
Q4: What causes slow return or jamming?
Keeper misalignment, incorrect rod length or off-template drilling. Use our install guide and inspection checklist.
Q5: Can I combine EN 1125 on one exit and EN 179 elsewhere?
Yes—public exits with EN 1125, trained-only rooms with EN 179. Keep signage consistent and document your rationale.
