Door guard

Door guard - advice, installation & testing

CWS door monitors secure emergency exit doors against unauthorised use. They are located below the door handle to secure emergency exit doors. This means that the door handle cannot be pushed down without triggering the escape door guard and thus the door cannot be opened unintentionally. In addition, an acoustic signal informs about the triggering of the door guard or the opening of the escape door.

Door monitors are used in the context of fire protection for escape doors that open inwards and outwards. Their functions include securing the escape door, an acoustic signal when triggered by an integrated battery (approx. 80-95 dB) and resetting to the initial position by means of the device key. The CWS door monitors are made of green cast aluminium and can be used for left and right doors, with directional arrows for correct opening.

Types of escape door guards:

1. the one-hand door guard can be pushed down vertically with one hand to open the door.
2. the swing door guard is swung to the side to push down the door handle.

Inspection of swing and single-handed door monitors
Escape door monitors must be tested annually by an expert in order to ensure fire protection. The operator must submit a test certificate for the single-handed or swing door monitors to the building supervisory authority upon request.
