Abstract
A door actuating device for controlling a door locking device, including an actuating surface for the user to apply an actuating force, a first switching device with a sensor device for detecting the actuating force and for transmitting an unlocking signal to the door lock device via an operating circuit when a predetermined first minimum force is detected, and a second switching device with a mechanical switch which can be closed when a predetermined second minimum force greater than the first minimum force is applied. When the switch is closed, an unlocking signal can be transmitted to the door lock device via an associated emergency circuit.
