The Frameless Hardware Company Introduces UL Listed FHC Steincraft™ ML100 Magnalink™ Electromagnetic Egress Handles
Industry First Innovative UL-Listed Electromagnetic Egress Handles with Integrated Key Operated Access Device, Designed, Engineered, and Manufactured in the U.S.A. by FHC Manufacturing
The Frameless Hardware Company LLC (FHC), a glass and glazing supplier and architectural hardware manufacturer, has expanded its offering for the all-glass entrance market with the debut of its new collection of FHC Steincraft® ML100 Magnalink® Electromagnetic Egress Handles which are UL Listed (UL-294) with Underwriters' Laboratories.
Designed to please architects, designers, specifiers, and building inspectors alike, the new innovative FHC Magnalink® Electromagnetic Egress Handles are available in six popular architectural finishes and showcases no unsightly wire loops to conceal wiring and is also fully tamper proof. The Magnalink® handle operation is magnetically coupled to a header mounted actuator, creating an invisible connection that eliminates the need for electrical current in the door handle.
For added versatility, the Magnalink® collection is available in ADA compliant keyed cylinder configurations, NFPA 101 compliant height configurations, and can accommodate entrances up to ten feet tall in accordance with NGA-GANA guidelines. Additionally, the Magnalink® has been designed in appearance to match FHC Steincraft® Panic Handles and provides added safety with a new “anti-finger pinch” faceplate design and factory applied engraved push indicator areas.
"Experience and Innovation," said Chris Hanstad, President and CEO of FHC. "Our designers saw an opportunity for an improved innovative design and solution for the glazing industry. The result looks outstanding and performs incredibly. The standard for premium hardware has a new name, it’s FHC!"
