Panic bars, also called push bars or exit devices, let people leave a building with a single push, even in an emergency. They’re required on many commercial exit doors, and they have to work every single time.
Key benefits of professional panic door service
- Safe exits: doors open with one push, without keys or knowledge of the hardware.
- Security from outside: the door relatches and stays locked to anyone outside.
- Code readiness: hardware that’s installed and adjusted correctly for your door.
- Fewer callbacks: a properly aligned device and closer don’t wear out early.
Fire and building codes, not your locksmith, set what each door needs. If you’re unsure, check with your fire marshal or building inspector, and we’ll install hardware that meets their requirements.
Panic door installation
We install rim, mortise and vertical-rod exit devices on aluminum, hollow metal and wood doors. When a door needs controlled entry from outside, we add exterior trim with a key cylinder or lever.
Advantages of professional installation
A panic bar that’s out of alignment won’t latch, and a door that doesn’t latch isn’t secure. We fit the device, the strike and the door closer together so the door closes, latches and opens as it should.
Panic bar door repair
Common problems we fix:
- The door doesn’t latch or rattles when closed
- The bar sticks or needs extra force
- The outside key or lever stopped working
- Damage from forced entry or heavy use
When repair isn’t worth it, we replace the device with new hardware.
