GEZE escape route security for full panic doors with fire protection function

System components for securing double leaf doors

(PresseBox) (Leonberg, )
GEZE is repeatedly producing new answers to the ever-growing demand for security which is seen in all walks of life and thus in building technology, too. In buildings with double-leaf doors, which in many cases are used as escape route and fire-cell doors as well, safety in case of danger is that much more significant. For one thing, those trying to escape must be able to pass through the doorway as fast as possible, and then it must be ensured that the leaves of the door - in compliance with fire protection guidelines - are reclosed and locked. On top of this is the necessity for "insurance-compliant locking" - because there is only full insurance protection when the doors are "properly" locked. Fast opening in emergency and controlled access are the strengths of self-locking panic locks. With the IQ Lock AUT, GEZE introduces a new multifunctional system solution for double leaf doors with automated door leaves on both sides.

The GEZE IQ Lock AUT self-locking panic lock for double-leaf doors Automated on both sides, with a self-locking function

The IQ Lock AUT is a further development of the IQ Lock EL DL for double leaf full panic doors. The product name IQ Lock AUT itself already expresses the innovative characteristics of this additional version: active and stationary leaves are now both automated - unlike the IQ Lock EL DL version in which the stationary leaf or the strike box is equipped with a mechanical release. In the "RWA" case (smoke and heat extraction), the automatic opening and unlocking of both door leaves by the IQ Lock AUT guarantees reliable smoke extraction and convenient passing using both door leaves in automatic operation. Locking can also conveniently be carried out remotely. In a fire door, the intelligent IQ Lock AUT control also ensures secure locking, even when the function "permanently open" has been selected.

The automated unlocking of the strike box with the bar locking makes the system extremely flexible: it makes it possible to connect the IQ Lock AUT to an automatic swing door drive such as the GEZE Slimdrive EMD-IS with integral closing sequence control or smoke and heat extractor (RWA). After automatic triggering, e.g. by a smoke alarm, RWAs remove combustion smoke efficiently from the building. In an emergency both door leaves can be mechanically unlocked at the same time over the door fittings by pressing the panic bar. Directly after using the door in an emergency, the mechanical self-locking becomes activated which closes the door and relocks it securely and very fast. The 20 millimeter deep lift of the bar locking serves additionally as protection against break-in or other uninvited guests. With the insurance-compliant locking of both door leaves, the IQ Lock AUT is also the right choice in the event of liability questions. The "continuously open" function as continuous unlocking guarantees convenient passage via both leaves in automatic operation.

Thanks to the intelligent modular design, the IQ Lock AUT can be matched reliably and quickly to either tubular frames or to full-leaf doors. A matching range of accessories ensures that installation is quick. In existing doors the IQ Lock EL DL version can conveniently be converted into an IQ Lock AUT with the addition of a kit.

The IQ Locks by GEZE: for everything a door has to be able to do

The whole range of requirements of a door can be fulfilled by the different versions of the GEZE IQ Lock family. Starting with the mechanical self-locking and motorized unlocking, the full panic function and the insurance-compliant locking, through automating the door leaves to the connection of an RWA, an escape route or an access control system. On top of that, only a single lock is needed to fulfill the requirements for emergency exit locks as per DIN EN 179 and for panic door locks with horizontal bar action as per DIN 1125.

The independent family company develops, produces and sells system solutions for door, window and safety technology. As one of the market, innovation and design leaders, GEZE has achieved world class status. Starting from the company's headquarters in Leonberg in the Stuttgart region, GEZE is represented by 27 subsidiaries and over 2,100 employees throughout the world.

State-of-the-art innovative drives in which a high performance capability, safety, comfort and design are the top priority ensure that they are the focus of every entrance area. The glass systems from GEZE with their award-winning fitting solutions are characterised by functionality and great architectural freedom.

The system concept always in view

GEZE safety technology on doors and windows is important for fire prevention in emergency exits, controlled access and protection of the building shell from the outside. Smoke and heat extraction systems from GEZE save lives, as they make it possible to escape from the building quickly and safely in case of fire. The central control and visualisation systems monitor automation components in building technology and provide security and comfort as a result of multi-faceted networking options. For each of these objectives, GEZE offers individual solutions and perfectly harmonizing solution concepts which combine safety requirements in an intelligent system and open and close doors and windows in a coordinated manner in the case of danger.

Innovative products determine the future

One of the issues in window technology that determines the future is energy efficiency. "Intelligent" windows with coordinated drive and control technology from GEZE save energy and also provide comfort and security. Barrier-free door and window systems, e.g. with remote control, take into consideration the needs of the older generations of tomorrow. Control and monitoring systems of the opening conditions of windows - in the case of fire or for everyday ventilation - will be standard in a few years time. GEZE is already equipped for this. A focus on the future also means sustainability. GEZE incorporates economic, ecological and technical sustainability criteria, as well as aspects of the quality of life, even into the development of its products.

GEZE in the buildings of the world

Important buildings throughout the world are fitted with system solutions and products from GEZE, for example the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the New Acropolis Museum in Athens, the Mercedes Benz-Museum in Stuttgart or the opera and concert house Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofía in Valencia to name but a few.
