Panic hardware, also known as panic latches, are a type of door mechanism designed to provide quick and easy exit in emergency situations. They are usually installed on doors leading to stairwells, exit doors or other emergency exits in large buildings. Panic hardware typically consists of a horizontal bar that runs along the inside of the door and is pushed down to release the latch when someone pushes against it. The purpose of panic hardware is to ensure that people can quickly and safely evacuate a building in the event of an emergency, without needing to stop and figure out how to operate the door.
