Yale Locks and Hardware of Lenoir, Tenn., an ASSA ABLOY company, releases the 7180(F)TD (tornado device) multipoint exit device latching system, a three-point auto deadlocking system engineered to secure shelters.
The UL Listed and certified device is in accordance with FEMA 361 and Int’l Code Council (ICC) 500. It features extra-heavy duty steel components to secure the door to the frame – at the top, bottom and center latch points – reinforcing the openings to withstand extreme wind speeds and flying debris, according to the company. All three latching points are activated automatically when the door is closed.
