During 2014 the MAB EXIT1000 Series was phased out by ASSA ABLOY and the CORNI MINISTAR 429 is the direct replacement, with many design improvements but still using the same modular approach to components as the MAB EXIT1000 Series. It should be noted that latch kits are now supplied separately from vertical rods, but the rods do now include steel covers as standard. Pullman latches are now stainless steel and latch mechanisms have mild steel covers as standard. The OAD is now based on a lever handle, but a simple euro cylinder with escutcheon is available for fitting externally on low-traffic doors.
CORNI MINISTAR 429 is a complete modular range of surface mounted push-bar panic exit devices manufactured by ASSA ABLOY Italia S.p.A. The panic latch patterns use the same modular transformation kits of vertical rods and latches. An added bonus is that the same transformation kits are used with the CORNI MINIPAD 423 range on page 168 and the CORNI TOUCH 445 touch-bar range on page 170. This modularity helps to reduce customers' stock levels. Single panic bolts are supplied with three point locking as standard; top, bottom and central. These may be converted to two point locking top and bottom by the use of a blanking plate to nullify the central latch if required. CORNI MINISTAR 429 is suitable for use on mid-rails of doors made of steel, timber, aluminium and PVCu.
Different latch kits offer the option for both pullman latches to shoot vertically top and bottom, or shoot horizontally (making three horizontal latches at the top, middle and bottom), or with one pullman latch shooting vertically and one shooting horizontally (although this makes the unit handed). A horizontal shooting bottom latch avoids the need to drill the threshold and eases installation. The range conforms to the European standard EN 1125: 2008 on panic exit devices, is CE marked, and is suitable for use on fire rated doors. The standard finish is black, with the exception of the cross-bars which can be supplied red or real satin stainless steel as an option.
The "Jolly" lever handle outside access device is easily and quickly installed, and is supplied with a 40mm long euro-profile standard differ single cylinder, but can be supplied keyed alike or master keyed to special order. By simply removing the screws in the back of the unit prior to installation, customers can replace the standard differ cylinder with their own master keyed cylinder without the need for any drilling. The "Jolly" handle is available in one function only, (similar to the function of the MAB A0416.30), and the key can be taken away and the door left unlocked for free access. Simple external euro cylinder and escutcheon kits available for occasional key access.
