Dormakaba PHA203 2 Point Panic Bolt (FIRE RATED) The dormakaba (DORMA) PHA 203 is a surface-mounted, fire-rated modular panic exit bolt designed to provide safe, single-motion egress for emergency exit doors while maintaining structural integrity during fire events. Overview & Core FunctionEngineered as part of the PHA 2000 series, the PHA 203 utilizes a two-point vertical locking configuration (top and bottom bolts) actuated by a full-width push bar. When pressure is applied anywhere along the bar, both vertical latch bolts retract simultaneously to allow rapid, unobstructed escape. When the door closes, the bolts automatically re-engage into the top frame strike and floor keeper to secure the opening. Key Specifications & FeaturesLocking Configuration: 2-point vertical locking (top pullman latch and bottom shoot bolt/latch). Fire Rating: Certified for use on fire and smoke check doors (tested to European standards including EN 1125 for panic hardware and EN 1634 for fire resistance). Door Compatibility: Suitable for single-leaf doors or the passive leaf of double rebate doors made of timber, steel, or aluminum. Handing: Fully non-handed (reversible for left- or right-swinging doors). Dogging/Hold-Open: Fire-rated variants are configured to ensure full latching during an alarm; dogging functions are typically omitted or restricted to meet fire safety codes. External Access: Compatible with DORMA external hardware trims (such as key-locking lever handles or knobs) for outside entry without compromising exit compliance.
Typical ApplicationsCommercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare centers, and public assembly areas where building codes mandate certified panic egress hardware on designated fire exit routes.
Looking for external access? This device can be easily paired with a dormakaba PHT External Lever Trim to manage secure, keyed entry from the outside without affecting emergency egress If you require assistance with your selection please contact us either by email or phone.
