Tekta’s New Emergency Release Door Handle

Tekta has developed a new Emergency Release Door Handle, the first of its kind on the market, designed to provide an additional safety feature for electrically operated rapid doors.

The handle has been developed to allow users to manually override a door’s electrical operating system in the event of a fire or emergency evacuation. This provides an alternative means of releasing the door when normal electrical operation may not be possible or appropriate.

In emergency situations, having a straightforward and accessible method of opening a door is essential. The Emergency Release Door Handle has been designed with this in mind, offering a practical solution that can be operated independently of the door’s electrical system.

The new handle is compatible with three doors in Tekta’s existing rapid door range: Rapidor Impact, Rapidor Pharma and Rapidor Inox.

These doors are used across a variety of industrial, pharmaceutical and hygiene-sensitive environments, where both operational efficiency and safety are important considerations.

The introduction of the Emergency Release Door Handle is part of Tekta’s ongoing product development, focusing on practical improvements that support safer working environments and provide additional functionality to existing door systems.
