Locking latch arrangement and number Single and three-point locking latches are available across all the ranges with the ability to convert on-site from three-point to two-point in most cases. Factors to be considered include whether the door is single or double, construction, material and size. For double doors requiring escape through both leaves, it is critical to ensure that whichever door leaf is operated it must open and also to consider whether the doors are rebated through the lock stile section/overlapping plates, or are plain-edged. 4. Outside access External access can be provided by a mechanical outside access device, using a key, push button digital combination and in most cases either a lever handle or knob. Again, thought needs to be given to how the door is to be used. Most electronic access control can be accommodated by the use of an internal motorised touch bar. 5. Size of door Door widths and heights should be checked before ordering as many wider and taller doors can be catered for from stock by use of wider crossbars, wider model touch bars and extra-long rod kits. 6. Finish Powder-coated white and black finishes are available from stock along with the standard silver grey, which has the option of a green cross bar. A decorative plated satin stainless steel finish and simulated polished brass are available for many ranges. Where a high degree of corrosion resistance is necessary the DFine grade 316 stainless steel is available. Many other finishes can be provided as special orders.
