Victorian House Posted Thursday at 08:49 Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:49 Hi all, I recently came across a youtube video on PSA 67:2021 which seemed to have some far-reaching consequences that I hadn't previously considered. In addition, I can't find much information on the internet so I was curious whether other people are encountering the same topics: In particular, the video is saying that the use of maglocks and green BGUs typically can't be used as this would put requirements beyond that of 'requiring people to manipulate more than one mechanism'. As in, one mechanism for the green BGU and another mechanism for the door handle. So a secure office door would need to have a solenoid lock similar to a hotel room door rather than a maglock/BGU set-up. In corridors, we would often put a maglock/BGU combination for access to certain areas/departments. Now, we would need to put panic bars for people to get out and a retractable bolt mechanism on access control for people to get in. As you can imagine, this is difficult for clients to understand as it hasn't been this way previously. I guess I'm just not seeing this permeate through the product brochures as I would have expected so I don't know if other people are having a similar experience?

AnthonyB Posted Monday at 21:09 Report Share Posted Monday at 21:09 Most people don't know about this and even less enforce it. Up and down the country mags are still being installed with no regard to EN 13637 Electronically Controlled Escape Systems (for use on escape routes). Unless official guidance is updated & new standards insisted on by AHJ's it will be a while before any noticeable change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
