All the emergency exit doors in @home need to have Mechanical Panic Push Bars that people can push to exit the building in the event of a fire (when electricity is automatically cut to the building).

There are many types of exit push bar. The one I like best is the lever style (because it provides leverage and thus eases operation)

There is a law for this (obvs) but sadly the standard is not free ... 🙄 https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030091419 This site has a decent amount of info for free: Panic Exit Devices EN 1125 https://www.jnf.pt/en/professional/european-norms/panic-exit-devices-en-1125 Science Direct (Elsevier) has a surprisingly informative (free!) resource: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/electrified-panic-hardware
