design and application
Design & Application
Suitable for either new build or for retrofit applications where individual doorsets are required within an existing facility. The DUALWAY™ system utilises a frame within a frame principal, allowing for a standard 44mm or 54mm door to be mounted within a secondary high security steel inner frame.
principals and operation
Principals and Operation
In everyday use the standard inward opening door operates in a normal way, providing 105 to 115 degree access using a purpose designed full height Anti-ligature continuous hinge. The inner preformed steel frame provides rigid support and security by means of heavy duty purpose designed mechanical hook bolt locking, or with the option of an electrically operated locking system.
barricade release
Barricade Release
In an emergency or barricaded door situation the door and inner frame can be quickly released enabling the complete doorset to swing outwards allowing immediate access into the room. Access is achieved by releasing the dual hook locks mortised into the outer frame and operated by unique security profile keys, or an electrically operated release mechanism.
doorset and frame options
Doorset and Frame Options
The DUALWAY™ Anti-barricade system has been designed to suit the majority of standard 44mm and 54mm doorsets, including both FD30S and FD60S options where required. The DUALWAYTM system is adaptable to accommodate alternative door thicknesses subject to special order. The steel inner frame can be supplied in a range of standard finishes or with the choice of special options to suit specific requirements.
security and hardware
Security and Hardware
Outer and inner frames are secured with two purpose designed heavy duty mortice hook bolts, which are supplied complete with anti-tamper escutcheons and dedicated security keys. Alternative electronic locking systems can be supplied subject to client specification. A wide range of matching Anti-Ligature door furniture and high security mortice locks are available to meet exacting specifications, or DUALWAY™ can be supplied ready to receive existing ironmongery.
anti-ligature features
Anti-Ligature Features
The DUALWAY™ system incorporates unique interleaf continuous hinges (CDR*), which feature anti-ligature end tips and provide a minimal gap between the door and the frame. The full height continuous hinges provide even load distribution and substantially increased strength over pivoted doorsets, eliminating the potential for splitting under impact or during abuse. The DUALWAY™ system is designed for use with the concealed Perko Powermatic and other frame mounted door closing devices.
