Allegion PLC, a leading global provider of security products and solutions, recently announced that its concealed vertical cable (CVC) exit devices, which install in minutes, have been tested to have a design rating of +/- 75 pounds per square foot (psf) with a large missile impact, thus meeting the Florida Building Code requirements for hurricane wind protection.
“Our Concealed Vertical Cable System addresses the frustrations that customers have come to accept with traditional vertical rod systems,” explains Joseph Vaida, Allegion portfolio marketing manager – mechanical. “Not only does the system have equivalent fire ratings to traditional vertical rod exit devices but it also meets the same hurricane codes.”
