LocksOnline Imperial Lever-Operated Rollerbolt Escape Lock

On this rollerbolt escape lock, the bolt can be retracted by using the keys supplied, or by use of the lever situated underneath the lock case (which would be covered by a break-glass panel).  These locks (known as "escape locks") are designed for emergency escape doors which, under normal circumstances, would not be used by anyone without a key, but still allow for emergency escape simply by breaking the glass pane and using the lever to retract the roller-bolt. 

This type of escape lock offers two distinct advantages over the split-spindle type escape locks you may otherwise be familiar with.  The first - and most obvious - is that nobody can simply operate a handle to use the emergency escape door if you do not want them to.  Only keyholders would be able to unlock the door without breaking the break-glass panel.  

The second advantage is a big one, too; in that they can effectively be used to allow operation from both sides of the door, by cutting out the area required to operate the lever right the way through the door, and fitting a break-glass unit on both sides; therefore allowing for occupants on both sides of the door to be able to break the glass and operate the lever to get through the door.

Sold with a 10 year manufacturers guarantee, these performance-rated locks are designed to last and withstand the test of time - as the Imperial brand itself has done over the years, manufacturing security products in the UK for all these years!

Six finishes are available for these locks - first we have the satin brass and satin stainless steel.  These are the basic finishes that are most common for these locks, but we can also get polished brass, polished stainless steel, satin black and antique bronze finishes made for you.

Please note that these do not come with break glass frames, break glass or a mallet - these must be ordered separately from the list under "Don't forget to order".

Please be aware that the Imperial Locks range is manufactured to order for you specially - so please allow additional time for these to be dispatched!

These locks are fire-tested to BS EN 1634-1:2000
