Emergency Door Releases

Aperta emergency door release call points from ESP break the lock on an access-controlled door so people can leave quickly in an emergency. The green surface-mount unit carries an IP67 rating for damp or outdoor positions, and a resettable version can be reset and reused rather than replaced after each press. Both suit evacuation routes through controlled entrances at work or in shared buildings.

Emergency Door Releases

An emergency door release lets people get out fast by breaking the lock on a door that is normally held shut by access control. When the unit is operated, it cuts the hold on the door so it can be opened straight away, which matters on an escape route where a controlled entrance would otherwise slow people down. The green housing sets these units apart from a red fire alarm point, making their purpose clear at a glance on the way out.

The range includes surface-mount units that fit onto a wall beside the controlled door, and a resettable version that can be reset and reused rather than replaced after each press. One unit carries an IP67 rating for damp or outdoor positions, so it holds up where a controlled door opens onto the weather. Both suit evacuation routes through controlled entrances at work or in shared and multi-occupancy buildings.

Points to Consider

  • The green housing marks the unit out as an exit release, not a fire alarm point.
  • A resettable unit can be reset and reused rather than swapped after a press.
  • An IP67 rating suits a unit fitted where a door opens onto damp or outdoor space.
  • Surface-mount fitting places the release on the wall by the controlled door.

Fitted beside an access-controlled exit, these releases keep a clear, fast way out while the door stays secured the rest of the time. Free UK delivery over £99. Worldwide delivery priced at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an emergency door release?
It is a wall-mounted unit that releases the lock on an access-controlled door so people can leave quickly in an emergency. Operating it cuts the hold on the door so it can be opened straight away.

Why is it green and not red?
The green housing marks the unit out as a door release rather than a fire alarm call point, which is red. The colour difference makes its purpose clear at a glance on an escape route.

What does the resettable version do?
A resettable unit can be reset back to its ready state after it has been operated, so it can be reused rather than replaced after each press. This is handy for testing and for putting the door back into service.

Can it be fitted outdoors?
One unit carries an IP67 rating, which suits damp or outdoor positions where a controlled door opens onto the weather. Check the rating on the product before fitting it in an exposed spot.

Where are these units used?
They suit evacuation routes through access-controlled entrances, such as workplaces and shared or multi-occupancy buildings. The release gives a fast way out while the door stays secured the rest of the time.
