All of these units are intended for use where both security and egress are issues. In the event of an emergency, power failure, activation of a facility's fire alarm system or smoke detection system, the security grilles move to the fully open position. This is accomplished without the use of electricity or battery back up systems. In the emergency mode these units provide for the clear egress path which is required. In the non-emergency mode, these units provide for the required security. For higher occupancy loads models G1500 & G4500 are recommended due to the use of integral swinging egress doors. System Advantages: Self-Opening Grilles provide designers the flexibility of securing large openings while still providing emergency egress. Design Alternatives: The Self-Opening Grille eliminates the illegal use of security gates. It also eliminates the need for unsightly swinging door frames. Applications: These units provide a safe, efficient and economical means to solve the emergency egress versus security problem. They are ideal for schools, hospitals, office buildings and airport applications.
