Pyropanel New Security Latch

AS 1905.1 – 2015 explicitly prohibits the use of security latches that could prevent a fire door from self–latching, e.g chains, deadbolts and swing bars (see examples shown below).  Pyropanel has a tested, approved and foolproof hardware solution which satisfies the requirements of AS 1905.1 – 2015.  The latch is available in two variants, provides a level of security and cannot be used to prop the door open or damage the door.

The Pyropanel Security Latch is suitable for apartment entry doors, hotel doors or any door which requires a level of security by the room occupant.  Fire tested only on Pyropanel door sets, the privacy latches satisfy the new requirements of AS 1530.4 – 2014 and set an industry benchmark raising the level of protection to the fire door and ensuring that the fire door will perform as required when required.
