Push/Pull handle

The special solution for heavy and highly frequented doors.

Highly frequented public buildings usually have many doors which are used daily by many people, often frequently. These doors have to meet high safety requirements for stability and usability. HEWI offers special solutions in the form of highly functional push/pull handles (in polyamide and stainless steel).
The HEWI push/pull handle is mostly used in hospitals.

With good reason: the heavy fire protection doors which separate the wards must be easy to unlock in the event of an emergency.
The push/pull handle has been approved as a dress plate for fire protection and escape doors.
The employment of a push/pull handle offers a high level of comfort in daily use. Doors equipped with the push/pull handle can easily be opened with one arm.

Fitting height
In barrier-free installations, a fitting height of 85 cm is mandatory so the item can be operated by wheelchair users.
Due to the height of the handle, operation with the elbow - e. g. if carrying a tray - is also possible. The push/pull handle can also be fitted upside down on passage doors which are not to be locked.

Function
Press down horizontally or pull the handle respectively – depending on the opening direction of the door – to open the latch. After operation, the handle springs back into the starting position so that it requires only a minimum of mobility and co-ordination.
