Generously sized GEZE revolving doors shape the entrance to the new dm company headquarters. The TSA 325 NT revolving door system provides smooth, draught-free access all day long, ensuring that the 1,800 employees and visitors can enter and leave the building quickly and conveniently, even during peak hours. Large windows and glass doors provide ventilation and fill the building with natural light. © Roland Halbe / GEZE GmbH Escape routes: a key aspect of building security The dm-dialogicum offers space for over 1,800 employees and visitors. Safe emergency escape and rescue routes are essential, particularly with so many people in the building. The GEZE emergency exit system guides people out of the building quickly and safely. An electric locking system in compliance with the EltVTR – the German standard for electric locking systems in doors on emergency escape routes – has been installed to ensure that escape and rescue routes can be used in case of emergency, but are otherwise not accessible without authorisation. Safe escape routes thanks to GEZE escape door locks MBZ 300 emergency power control units for SHE drives ensure safety. © Roland Halbe / GEZE GmbH Installing FTV 320 escape door locks increased the locking force of doors on escape routes, thereby also enhancing overall building safety. The locks’ integrated feedback contacts allow the doors to be monitored reliably, while integrated sabotage monitoring secures the lock against manipulation.
