Lockwood EXI294-SIL Exidor Single Panic Bolt Silver
The Lockwood EXI294-SIL Exidor Single Panic Bolt Silver is a surface mounted push bar panic exit device designed for emergency egress on suitable single doors and selected double door applications. It is part of the Lockwood Exidor series, a panic hardware range used where fast exit from the inside is required during an emergency.
The EXI294-SIL is the Exidor 294 two point single panic bolt. It retracts the top and bottom bolts when the push bar is operated, with the bolts remaining retracted until they are automatically released when the door closes.
This model includes an automatic top trip, an easy clean floor socket and an anti-thrust device in the main body to help resist leverage of the shoot bolts from their sockets. It is commonly specified in Australian commercial, industrial and public access buildings where a robust panic bolt is required in Silver finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EXI294-SIL only for single doors?
No. It is a single panic bolt, but the installation instructions state it can be used on single doors, both leaves of double doors with non-rebated meeting stiles, and the second opening leaf of rebated double door sets where correctly specified.
Can this be used on fire doors?
Yes, the Exidor series is fire rated for use on timber and steel fire door assemblies where the full door assembly is correctly tested, specified and installed. Always confirm fire door approval for the complete door and hardware set.
Is the outside lever trim included?
No. External lever trim is an accessory and must be ordered separately where outside access is required. A suitable Euro profile half cylinder is also required for that trim and is not supplied as part of the panic device.
Additional Information
- The EXI294-SIL is commonly chosen where a two point panic bolt is required rather than a single point panic latch.
- A common specification mistake is choosing a panic bolt or panic latch before confirming whether the door set is single, rebated double or non-rebated double.
- For doors exceeding the standard 2440mm height, the extended top shoot tube accessory should be checked during specification.
- External access from the outside requires a compatible outside access device and cylinder arrangement. These should be matched to the site keying schedule.
- For fire door applications, through fixings or other project-specific fixing requirements may be needed depending on the door manufacturer and fire test approval.
