Panic locks with monitoring contacts for tubular frame doors
Our panic locks with monitoring contacts for tubular frame doors have been specially developed for escape and rescue routes. They combine a compact design, variable backsets, and reversible latches with certified security in accordance with EN 179 and EN 1125 – ideal for single and double-leaf tubular frame doors made of aluminium or steel.
The integrated monitoring contacts enable continuous status queries of the latch and bolt position. This allows door states to be reliably integrated into higher-level systems such as escape door control units or access control systems.
Thanks to compatibility with standard profile cylinders and fittings, they offer a flexible solution for demanding security concepts in commercial, administrative, or educational buildings.
Features
The compact design is ideal for narrow door profiles made of aluminium or steel in tubular frame doors with escape function
Various backsets and reversible latches allow flexible use in single and double-leaf door systems – both DIN left and DIN right
The locks are certified according to DIN 18251 as well as EN 179 and EN 1125 and meet the highest requirements for escape and rescue routes
The integrated monitoring contacts allow targeted queries of bolt and latch position for integration into escape door control units or building management systems
Variants with panic function, silent latch or top locking offer flexible solutions for public buildings, administrations and commercial construction
The locks can be combined with standard profile cylinders and door fittings – a freewheel cylinder is not required
- The integrated feedback supports integration into security-relevant systems – for example, for escape route security or access control
Durable, low-maintenance and ideally suited for heavily frequented tubular frame doors – even with increased monitoring requirements
Panic locks with monitoring contacts: The right choice – not only in terms of security
Panic locks with monitoring contacts for tubular frame doors combine reliable escape door security with intelligent feedback on door status. Whether in public buildings, office complexes or security-relevant areas – variants with electrical monitoring allow panic locks to be optimally integrated into higher-level security and control systems.

Standards and safety requirements
Mortise locks meet the highest safety standards and are certified according to DIN EN 12209 for mechanical locks. Variants with panic function also comply with the European standards DIN EN 179 (emergency exits) and DIN EN 1125 (panic doors). VdS approval confirms their suitability for burglar-resistant doors in accordance with DIN EN 1627–1630. In addition, numerous models offer fire and smoke protection suitability as well as CE marking for use in the European market.
suitability for fire protection
Approved for use on fire and smoke protection doors
Emergency exit devices with lever handle or push plate for doors in escape routes
The EN 179 standard refers to emergency exit devices intended for use in buildings where it is expected that people familiar with the escape route can quickly and safely reach an exit in an emergency. These locking systems are designed to be easily opened in the event of an emergency. They require only a simple hand movement without the use of keys or similar aids. EN 179 specifies requirements for the design and performance of such systems to ensure their reliability and safety.
panic-break-out hardware with horizontal operating bar
DIN EN 1125 refers to panic exit devices with integrated latch that are equipped with a horizontal operating bar. This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for emergency exit devices intended for use in public buildings to ensure a quick and safe exit in case of emergency. The devices must be designed so that they can be easily operated even under panic conditions.
mechanically operated locks and strike plates
EN 12209 is a European standard that deals with mechanical locks and striking plates for doors. This standard defines the requirements for security, functionality, and durability of mechanical locks. It includes test procedures for evaluating the performance of these products in various categories such as durability, corrosion resistance, and resistance to tampering.
VDS
Profile cylinders with this marking are available in VdS version.
RC
The EN 1627 standard is a European standard that defines requirements and classifications for burglar-resistant components such as doors, windows, curtain walls, grilles, and roller shutters. This standard is part of a series of standards, which also includes EN 1628, EN 1629, and EN 1630, covering various aspects of testing these products for their resistance to burglary.Resistance classes (RC = Resistance Class) are a central element of this standard and indicate how well a component withstands a burglary attempt. There are several resistance classes, from RC 1 to RC 6, with each higher class offering better protection. [doc2]
