CrossingGard^® Emergency Response Grille

Security Grilles

Model Number: ERG-IBC

Secure your spaces without compromising safe egress. The CrossingGard® Emergency Response Grille delivers both in one intelligent system. For daily use, it provides the security of a locked rolling grille for managing and defining public spaces. In an emergency, it responds instantly. Upon activation from a fire alarm, power failure, or an emergency push-button, the grille opens automatically—without any electrical power required—to provide a clear path for escape.

This fail-safe capability is a vital asset for schools, government facilities, and public corridors where fire and life safety are non-negotiable. After an event, the grille easily resets to its secure position with the touch of a button. An integrated Electronic AutoLock system engages during forced entry attempts while remaining disengaged during normal or emergency operation.
