The EN 1125 touch bar, or push pad, is a critical component for emergency exit devices. Its defining feature is a long, horizontal bar that activates the door mechanism across its entire length. This "touch-to-open" design allows for rapid egress, as pressure applied anywhere on the bar instantly releases the lock. Complying with the EN 1125 standard ensures the device meets stringent safety and performance requirements for panic situations, providing reliable and intuitive operation for safe building evacuation.
