Scope1.1 This practice provides information for the installation ofexit devices used in areas of security to achieve the greatestsecur
3、ity possible without violating the requirements and spiritof NFPA 101.1.2 Security of a high level is not always possible with theseproducts but the use of certain types and functions of exitdevices will afford a much higher degree of security than theuse of other types and functions.1.3 The values

9、.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is not meant to include products other thanexit devices except to the extent that such products directlyrelate to the use of exit devices. When other products aredescribed, the security attributes of the other products aredescribed generally in the documents
10、 referenced in Section 2.5. General5.1 NFPA 101 and many building codes require exit devicesin certain locations and should be consulted.5.2 UL 305 and BHMA A156.3 have specific requirementsfor the performance of exit devices and should be consulted.5.3 Exit devices for fire doors require a label de
11、signatingthem as “fire exit hardware.” This means they have beeninvestigated for both fire resistance and panic. Exit devicesused on non-fire doors require a listing for panic. These labelsand listings shall be by a nationally recognized, independenttesting laboratory. A periodic examination service

Installation Guidelines6.1 Doors and Frames:6.1.1 Doors and frames installed in locations where exitdevices are used for purposes of s
16、ecurity should have minimumclearances at the head, jambs, and meeting stiles (if in pairs)and at a threshold or sill.6.1.2 Doors and frames should be of sufficient strength andrigidity so as not to fail a spreading or impact test of theappropriate level as defined in Test Methods F476. Whereapplicab
17、le, doors and frames should be reinforced to receivefasteners described in 6.8.6.2 Associated Hardware:6.2.1 Hinges or pivots used to hang doors should be of atype where the unauthorized separation of the hinge side of thedoor from the frame is hindered. This can be achieved byincluding design featu
18、res in which the hinge leaves are lockedtogether.6.2.2 Doors should be self-closing so that when the exitdevice is activated from the egress side, the door will auto-matically return to the closed and locked position and not stayopen. This can be achieved through the use of door closingdevices.6.2.3
19、 Electric strikes (see BHMAA156.5 and UL1034) maybe used for security areas. These can be arranged to signal anunlocked condition or an open door. Some electric strikes maynot be used on fire doors.6.2.4 Astragals can add to the security of a pair of doors bymaking it more difficult to probe the cle
20、arance at the meetingstiles and trip the opening mechanism. However, it is importantthat the astragals do not inhibit the independent action of eachleaf if both leaves are active.6.3 Exit Device Functions:6.3.1 Functions of exit devices range from those having nooperation of any kind on the exterior
21、 (secure) side of the doorto those that are knob, lever, or thumbpiece-operated on theexterior side.6.3.2 The most secure function is the one having nooperation on the exterior side (usually called “exit onlyfunction”).6.3.3 The second most secure functions are operated by keyonly from the exterior
22、side and are otherwise always locked(usually called “night latch function”).6.3.4 The least secure functions are those which can belocked or left unlocked by key and are operated by knob, lever,thumbpiece, or other operating trim from the exterior side.6.4 Exit Devices on Single Doors:6.4.1 Mortise-
23、type exit devices of the exit only or nightlatch types function when the mortise lock mechanism ishoused in a drawn steel case and is furnished with an auxiliarydead latch to afford good security.6.4.2 Rim device types of the exit only or night latchfunctions also afford good security. Some manufact
24、urers em-ploy deadlocking latch bolts to prevent entry by shaking orvibration attacks. Others prevent entry from these type ofattacks by adjusting the angle of relationship between the latchbolt and the strike. Bolt projections of58 in. (15.9 mm) and34in. (19.1 mm) are available. Attempting to withd
25、raw the boltwith shim material in this type of device is not commonbecause of the angle and distance from the edge of the door tothe strike.6.5 Exit Devices on Pairs of Doors:6.5.1 Pairs of doors with exit devices are less secure thansingle doors so equipped. As in the case of single doors, theexit
26、only or night latch functions are the most secure.6.5.2 Rim devices used with mullions manufactured for thespecific devices used afford reasonable security. Mullionsshould be the most substantial offered and installation clear-ances should be close.6.5.3 In areas where mullions are not desired or pe
27、rmitted,pairs of doors should be equipped with astragals that do notinhibit the independent action of each leaf and vertical roddevices. The bottom bolts should resist loiding and project aminimum of38 in. (9.6 mm) into a threshold. The thresholdshould be cut to receive the strike and the strike sho
28、uld befastened securely to the floor or to a threshold incorporating astop strip that retains a bottom latch.6.5.4 The combined use of a vertical rod device and amortise device with an open back strike provides little securityand is not recommended for security areas.6.5.5 The combined use of a vert
29、ical rod device and amortise device with a closed back (conventional) strike and anoverlapping astragal provides reasonable security. One diffi-culty with this arrangement is the required use of a coordinatorwhich ensures the correct sequence of closing.6.6 Optional Security Features for Exit Device
30、s:6.6.1 Exit devices are available that can be locked orunlocked on the exterior side from a remote position or centralstation. Individual manufacturers catalogs should be con-sulted.6.6.2 Exit devices can be equipped with an integral me-chanical or electronic mechanism signaling an unauthorizedegre
31、ss. When the device is operated, an audible or silent alarmcan be activated. Warning signs with words such as “emer-gency exit onlypush to open and sound the alarm” can beplaced on the activating push bar or on the door above thedevice.6.6.3 Exit devices with an electric mechanism to retract thelatc
32、h bolt from a remote location or central station can be usedwhen remote operation is desired. The device can also beequipped with a monitoring device to signal an unlocked,unsecure condition or an open door. Individual manufacturerscatalogs should be consulted.6.7 Exit Locks:6.7.1 Exit locks are use
33、d on doors required for emergencyexit but that are not otherwise used.6.7.2 When doors equipped with exit locks are opened, anaudible or silent alarm is generally activated. Warning signswith such words as “emergency exit only” and “push here toopenalarm will sound” are usually found on the activati
34、ngcross bar of the lock.6.7.3 Exit locks are available with dead bolts providing thehighest security available for this type of lock.6.7.4 Exit locks can be locked or unlocked on the exteriorside from a remote position or control station when remoteoperation is desired.F571 87 (2016)26.7.5 Exit lock
35、s are available that will alarm when tamperedwith from the exterior side.6.8 Fasteners:6.8.1 Strikes in wood frames should be installed withthreaded-to-the-head wood screws of sufficient length to pen-etrate a structural member at least34 in. (19 mm).6.8.2 Strikes in steel frames should be installed
36、 with ma-chine screws in reinforced, drilled, and tapped holes.6.8.3 Strikes in aluminum frames should be installed withmachine screws in holes containing a steel-threaded devicesuch as a molly jack nut.6.8.4 Exit devices in wood doors may be installed withthreaded-to-the-head screws or, for a highe
37、r level of security,with through bolts.6.8.5 Exit devices in steel doors may be installed withmachine screws in reinforced, drilled, and tapped holes, or withthrough bolts.6.8.6 Exit devices in aluminum doors should be installedwith through bolts.6.8.7 Through bolts are most secure when threaded int
38、ooutside trim or dummy plates.6.8.8 Fasteners found satisfactory in field installations aredescribed in 6.8.1 6.8.7. Any system demonstrated towithstand the appropriate loads described in Test MethodsF476 is satisfactory.7. Applicable Tests7.1 Tests described in Test Methods F476 relating to locksar
