New: Fapim Oltre panic hardware

In the third quarter of 2018, Stalufor concepts in building hardware introduced an updated product line on behalf of Fapim: Oltre panic hardware. Oltre replaces the Panama panic hardware known to many. Oltre means "a little bit better" in Italian, and that describes this line of products exactly.

Oltre vs. Panama
Oltre is an improved product, but has a number of enduring features that characterize Fapim's panic hardware, such as its universal applicability to aluminum, steel, wood and plastic doors. In addition, Oltre's assembly is identical to Panama's, so no machine modifications are required. Also, the assembly is still not dependent on the chosen profile and lock. Finally, Oltre panic hardware is available in most RAL colors.

The advantages of Oltre panic hardware
Oltre panic hardware also has a number of advantages:

• Doubled corrosion resistance (from class 4 to 5)
• Standard antiflip latch
• Can be interchanged 1 to 1 with the former Panama panic hardware
• Universally applicable (on both aluminum, steel, plastic and wooden doors)
• Construction does not depend on profile and lock
• Oltre is produced completely in-house by Fapim which guarantees higher quality
• Excellent value for money

NEN 1125
The NEN 1125 European escape route standard describes that in the event of a panic situation in a public building, an escape door must always be able to be opened under the most unpleasant conditions, by a relatively light pressure on a horizontal pushbar or push-bar operation. The architect prescribes in the specifications which European escape route standards the project must meet.
