FUHR’s autosafe 833 and 835 KiGa multipoint locking systems have been developed specifically for these sensitive environments, providing a certified, application-led solution that removes the need for adapted or improvised hardware.
The multipoint locking system incorporates two interconnected lock cases linked via a drive rod, enabling independent operation of two lever handles positioned at different heights. The lower handle, set at 850mm, is accessible to children, while the upper lever at 1570mm allows staff to retain controlled access at all times.
In an emergency, the secured lower lever - or integrated GfS e-Bar® - can be activated, triggering an alarm and alerting supervisory personnel immediately. This configuration ensures compliant escape while supporting safeguarding protocols during day-to-day operation.
Suitable for aluminium, steel, timber and PVC-U doors, the 833 and 835 KiGa locks meet the requirements of EN 179 and EN 1125 for emergency and panic escape routes, with panic function B or E options available to suit project specifications. These function types determine how the door can be accessed from the outside, allowing controlled entry for authorised adults while maintaining free and compliant escape from the inside in an emergency, which can be specified depending on the application. This balance between access management and life safety is essential in childcare buildings.
For fabricators and installers, the system operates mechanically as standard, requiring no electrical installation. Where enhanced monitoring or access control integration is required, an autotronic motor can be fitted, enabling connection to wider building management systems.
Paul Balfe, Business Development Manager at FUHR UK, commented: “Childcare environments demand purpose-designed solutions. The FUHR solution was developed specifically to support safeguarding requirements while maintaining full regulatory compliance. For fabricators and installers, that means confidence that the door will perform exactly as intended from day one, without relying on site adaptations or compromising on certification.”
