A panic door assembly which provides a secure closing due to a special laterally displaceable edge element attached to the free side of the door. The edge element mates with either an adjacent door or a door frame when the door is closed and locked and the edge element is laterally displaced by the door handle to open the door. Where two doors are mounted to a door frame so that they meet at their free sides when closed, each of the doors may be provided with a laterally displaceable edge element, and the confronting profiles of the two edges are made to interengage one another when the doors are locked. With independently operated edges, either door can be opened individually. Either one or both of the doors may additionally include a bolt mechanism for securing the doors to the frame in a locked position.
