Exidor
Exidor is a UK panic-and-emergency-exit hardware brand best known for push bars, push pads, and multi-point exit devices used on fire exits and escape routes in commercial buildings. It’s one of those “you don’t notice it until you really need it” brands—built around reliable, standards-compliant egress hardware.
Exidor says it has been a leading manufacturer in this category for around 90 years, and trade/brand info places its establishment at 1931.
Standards & compliance are central to the brand’s positioning: Exidor panic and emergency exit devices are marketed as CE marked and tested to EN 1125 (panic exit devices) and EN 179 (emergency exit devices)—the core European standards that specifiers and installers care about for public buildings and controlled escape routes.
Ownership / group: Exidor was acquired by ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland in 2018 (widely reported in trade press), and Companies House filings list Assa Abloy Limited as the controlling party.
Where it sits today: Exidor is now presented as a range within the UNION family (ASSA ABLOY’s UK door hardware portfolio), and the brand is used across “real world” commercial projects where you might need bespoke finishes, different keep/bolt options, alarms, or microswitch variants for monitoring.
