Sliding door

multi-leafpedestrianglass

Product summary
The Manusa automatic panic break-out sliding door combines the functionality of an automatic sliding entrance with a panic break-out mechanism that allows the leaves to fold back outward to maximize the clear evacuation width in emergency situations.

Key features

• Normal automatic sliding operation for everyday use.
• Panic break-out: manual outward push folds leaves back to free the evacuation route.
• Leaves fold laterally to provide a wide clear-width evacuation opening.
• Available with framed leaves (profiles) or frameless glass leaves to suit durability and aesthetic requirements.
• Suitable for heavy pedestrian flows and public buildings requiring rapid evacuation routes.

Operation

• Standard automatic sliding mode for daily access control.
• Manual panic break-out operation: in an emergency, pushing the leaves outward releases and folds them to create an unobstructed opening.
• Configurable as central or side break-out and in two- or four-leaf layouts, with optional fixed leaves depending on site requirements.

Applications / recommended use

• Public buildings: airports, train stations, hospitals, cinemas and theatres.
• Large-capacity venues and commercial centres with frequent pedestrian traffic.
• Entrances where occasional larger clear openings are required for evacuation or passage of bulky items.
• Hotels, offices, transport hubs and residential complexes.

Variants and finishes

• Panic break-out with framed leaves: leaves with vertical profiles for increased structural durability.
• Panic break-out with frameless glass leaves: transparent appearance without vertical profiles for enhanced visibility.
• Central and side break-out configurations; single-slide and double-slide options depending on project needs.

Options & accessories

• Leaf configurations: two-leaf, four-leaf, with or without fixed sidelights.
• Choice of profiles and glazing options: framed vs frameless glass leaves.
• Compatible with Manusa operators and a range of safety, activation and control accessories (sensors, locks, key-switches, remote controls, selector switches, occupancy control systems).

Certifications & compliance notes

• Designed so automatic doors with break-out function provide the unobstructed clear width required by applicable evacuation regulations when activated.
• Must be installed, signposted and illuminated in accordance with local building and emergency-exit regulations.
