Unlock in case of fire
Some office buildings are home to a number of different companies, whose premises can be partitioned off using back-and-forth doors. In the event of a fire, these fire doors can be unlocked to speed evacuation. Unlocking can be carried out autonomously, using the local control unit, or remotely from the security control center if the building is equipped with one.
Serve as access control
In hospitals, clinics and other healthcare establishments, fire doors are a common feature, enabling the demarcation of different departments or care units such as EPHAD, maternity wards, psychiatric wards, Alzheimer’s units and so on. Equipped with a code or key-operated CLEVA, these doors filter passage, allowing only authorized persons to enter. These devices can also be used to control access to sensitive areas, such as pharmacies, and closed care units.
When the door is used both as an access door and an emergency exit, a UGCIS (Centralised Emergency Exit Management Unit) can be used for remote unlocking (delivery access or staff entrance).
