BRITON 378E Panic Latch

The Briton 378E Panic Latch is a high-quality, reliable emergency exit solution designed for use on single doors or the active first-opening leaf of a rebated double door. When the horizontal push bar is depressed, the single-point rim latch instantly disengages, allowing quick and effortless egress in an emergency.

Engineered for safety and durability, this panic latch is certified to BS EN 1125, making it ideal for public buildings where occupants may not be familiar with the exit routes. It has been fire tested to EN 1634 for up to 2 hours on timber doors and cycle-tested to over 200,000 operations, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The unit is supplied handed but can easily be reversed on-site to suit both left and right-hand applications. It features a robust silver enamelled finish and comes complete with all necessary fixings, self-adhesive "Push Bar to Open" signage, and a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.
