Briton
Briton is a long-established UK door hardware brand best known for door controls and exit hardware used in commercial buildings where reliability and fire-safety compliance actually matter. Briton markets itself as having over 100 years of history in the sector, with a reputation built on “highly engineered” products designed to survive constant, unglamorous punishment in busy environments.
Today, Briton is part of Allegion (the global security group behind multiple access and door hardware brands). In the Allegion portfolio, Briton sits as a specialist name for door control and emergency exit solutions.
What Briton is typically associated with in the trade/spec world:
-
Overhead door closers (including their long-running “classic” closer heritage)
-
Panic and emergency exit devices such as push bars and push pads, designed and tested to standards like EN 1125 (panic) and EN 179 (emergency exit) depending on application
-
A broader ecosystem that now extends into related locks, cylinders, door furniture and accessories under the Briton hallmark
Fun bit of heritage trivia that specs people love: sources discussing Briton’s classic door closer lineage note early Briton closers being manufactured by William Newman & Sons Ltd in Birmingham in the 1930s, and that the traditional style still shows up in places like historic properties.
Outside Access Device
Our range of outside access devices (OADs) provides secure, authorised entry from the exterior of doors fitted with internal panic bars or emergency exit hardware. Suitable for both timber and metal doors, these external units are available in knob-operated and lever-operated designs, with many lever models featuring anti-vandal clutch mechanisms and BS 8300 compliance for improved accessibility. Designed to work seamlessly with Euro profile cylinders, these durable devices ensure that emergency exits remain highly secure from the outside while allowing controlled access for keyholders.
