Sliding Egress Door

Designed to be an effective combination of both a swing and sliding door, the Sliding Egress Door truly provides facility owners with the best of both worlds. Operating in a sliding fashion during normal operations allows for easy accessibility in areas of negative pressure between rooms. In the case of an emergency, the Sliding Egress Door can swing outward to allow for an immediate exit. Available in single and bi-part variations.

In situations where pressure differentials are significant (such as openings into production areas where machines are running), choosing the right type of door to install can be a struggle. When a swing door fails to meet the NFPA Life Safety Code, sliding doors are an effective alternative.

3. The force required to operate the door leaf in the direction of travel is not more than 30 lbf (133 N) to set the leaf in motion and is not more than 15 lbf (67 N) to close the leaf or open it to the minimum required width (NFPA 101 Life Safety Code P-62-63/2018).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Sliding Egress Door the only option that meets NFPA Life Safety Codes?

No, other options include our Swing and Sliding Doors. PS Access Solutions™ Swing Doors can meet NFPA Life Safety Code requirements in situations with low differential pressure. However, when a swing door fails to meet the NFPA Life Safety Code, the life safety code allows for a Sliding Door to be used as a means of egress under 7.2.1.14. Contact PS Access Solutions about which option is best suited for your facility.
