LocksOnline Imperial Lever-Operated Euro Profile Rollerbolt Escape Lock

Designed to work with a euro profile cylinder, this lock features a lever on the underside of the case designed to allow you to unlock the door in the event of an emergency, by breaking an emergency break glass panel which would be fitted to the door over the cut-out required for the lever to be operated.   This means that only people with a key would be able to operate the door, but in the event of an emergency, persons without a key could simply smash the break-glass window with the mallet (listed below also), to allow them to operate the lock to achieve a safe exit from the building.

There are different types of escape locks available, and these are quite unique in their operation, with some distinct advantages over the more typical 'free egress' locks via a thumbturn or escape handle. 

The first - and possibly most obvious advantage over the more typical style of escape lock - is that with these locks nobody can simply operate a handle to use the emergency escape door for convenience, when they should not be doing so.  Only keyholders would be able to unlock the door without breaking the break-glass panel. 

The second advantage - and one that we know is very important in some unique scenarios - is that these escape locks can be used to allow operation from both sides of the door, by simply 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. This can be highly advantageous on partitioning doors which would serve no useful purpose day-to-day, but would allow an alternate route out of the building in the event of an emergency if one means of escape had been compromised. 

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.
