Steel One-and-a-half Door With Push Bar

Built around a galvanized steel shell and a mineral core that shrugs off heat rather than conducting it, this Steel One-and-a-half Door is engineered to hold its ground while a fire does its worst. Depending on which certification applies to your project, the panel maintains its integrity anywhere from two to three hours. Intumescent seals run along the edges, quietly waiting until rising temperatures activate them, at which point they expand to close off gaps that smoke would otherwise find with alarming efficiency.

The configuration itself is worth a closer look. Rather than a standard single-leaf opening, the Steel One-and-a-half Door With Push Bar pairs a full-width primary leaf with a narrower secondary panel. On an ordinary day, the smaller leaf stays latched and the main door handles all the traffic. When a situation calls for moving a crowd — or rolling equipment through — both leaves open together, giving you a generously wide passage without needing a completely different door.

The push bar ties the whole thing together. No keys, no twisting, no hesitation: one firm push releases the latch and the door swings free. It sounds simple because it is, and that simplicity is exactly the point. Stressed or disoriented people don't need to think about how to exit — they just move.

Hospitals, schools, warehouses, office towers — any occupied building where evacuation planning matters will find the Steel One-and-a-half Door With Push Bar a straightforward, dependable choice.
