The anti-panic function in mortise locks is a critical feature designed to enhance safety and security in emergency situations. Here’s a detailed description of the anti-panic function in mortise locks:
First: Emergency Egress: The anti-panic function enables individuals to easily and swiftly exit a room or building in emergency situations, such as fires, natural disasters, or security threats. It is a key component of the overall life safety systems.
Second: One-Step Unlocking: When activated, the anti-panic feature allows the door to be unlocked with a single action, typically by turning the inside lever or push bar. This simplicity is crucial in high-stress situations when individuals may be in a state of panic and need to exit quickly.
Third: No Key Required: Unlike traditional mortise locks that may require a key to unlock from the inside, the anti-panic function operates without the need for any special tools or keys. This ensures that anyone can operate the lock without prior training.
Fourth: Always Accessible: The anti-panic function is typically designed to be always accessible from the inside, regardless of whether the door is locked or unlocked from the outside. This ensures that individuals can exit freely without concern for the lock’s status.

What are the general handings of a door?
Answer: Mortises
The hand of door for mortise locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right/left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according by definition of DIN right/left.
Or: if you grasp the handle with your right hand and latch and deadbolt show to the left, then it is right hand. If you grasp the handle with your left hand latch and deadbolt show to the right, it is a left hand.
Rim locks
The hand of door for rim locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right /left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according to the definition DIN “right/left".
In addition to the designation “left” and “right”, it is to be indicated whether the locks are intended for inward or outward opening doors.
Sliding door mortises
The hand of door for sliding door mortises is the same for right and left. Sliding rim door locks different for left and right doors.
When ordering, always indicate “left” or “right”.
