CRL announced its latest advancement in panic handle engineering with the launch of the new Blumcraft Security Latch for its full line of panic handles.
Product details
The Security Latch features a distinct flat back that provides stronger engagement with the overhead door strike to keep glass doors resilient against exterior pull force when locked. This prevents the door from being forced open by pulling the exterior handle.
The Blumcraft Security Latch will come standard with all Blumcraft panic handles. To assist glaziers with proper installation, the Security Latch has a painted blue portion that indicates sufficient engagement with the door strike.
Additional features and specifications include:
- Puts glass door security at the forefront
- Combines the benefits of a smooth roller latch and a robust bolt latch
- Supports a maximum door height of 12 feet
- UL 305 listed
- Comes standard will all Blumcraft panic handles – existing handles can be retrofitted
- Patent No. US 12,054,970 B2 for push pad emergency exit device with vertical security latch bolt assembly
