Why Panic Bars & Exit Devices Matter?

Exit devices aren’t optional, they’re required by fire codes, OSHA guidelines, insurance regulations, and basic safety standards. They allow doors to open instantly with a single push, preventing bottlenecks during emergencies and keeping your building accessible and compliant.

A properly functioning panic bar:

Allows immediate exit with minimal force
Prevents crowding and injury during evacuation
Ensures fire-rated doors close and latch correctly
Secures your building from unauthorized entry
Meets code requirements for commercial properties

If your exit device isn’t working perfectly, it needs attention now—not later.

Our Services

Complete Panic Bar & Exit Device Services

We handle every type of emergency exit hardware for commercial, industrial, and public buildings.

Panic Bar Installation

Not all panic bars are the same. The wrong type, or poor installation, can create serious risks. We install heavy-duty, code-compliant panic bars designed to fit your door type, building layout, and security needs. We install: Rim panic bars Vertical rod exit devices Mortise panic bars Push-pad exit devices Commercial-grade fire-rated exit hardware Alarmed exit devices After installation, we test alignment, operation, and door closure to ensure full compliance.

Panic Bar Repair

Panic bars break down over time due to heavy use, misalignment, internal wear, or door settling. When the bar fails, the door may not latch, or worse, may not open during an emergency. Common issues we repair: Jammed panic bars Broken or sticking mechanisms Faulty internal springs Bent rods or latches Misaligned bars that won’t retract Panic bars that won’t latch or close properly Panic bars that drag or catch on the frame Most panic bars can be repaired on-site without replacing the entire device.

Panic Bar Replacement

If the hardware is outdated, damaged, or no longer code-compliant, replacement is the safest choice. We install modern, high-grade exit devices built for heavy commercial use. Replacement is recommended when: The panic bar is rusted or heavily worn Internal components are broken beyond repair The device fails to meet fire-safety regulations The building underwent renovations requiring updated hardware The current bar cannot be adjusted or aligned You get new, durable hardware installed correctly and tested for smooth operation.

Exit Device Adjustment & Maintenance

Many panic bar issues come down to poor alignment. Doors shift over time due to weather, building settling, and heavy use. If the latch doesn’t line up perfectly, the bar won't work the way it should. We adjust: Latching tension Vertical rods Horizontal bars Strike plate alignment Closing and latching speeds (if connected to a closer) Door frame fit and positioning Regular maintenance prevents premature failure and keeps you compliant.

Fire-Rated Exit Device Services

Fire-rated doors must close and latch automatically during emergencies. If your panic bar doesn’t allow the door to close correctl, or if the hardware isn’t fire-rated, you’re out of compliance. We install and service: Fire-rated exit bars Fire door closers Auto-latching mechanisms Rated hardware for code compliance Your building stays safe, legal, and insured.

Alarmed Exit Device Installation

Alarmed exit bars prevent unauthorized exits through emergency doors while still allowing immediate escape during emergencies. These are ideal for retail spaces, schools, warehouses, and hospitals. Features include: Audible alarms when the bar is pushed Optional delayed egress systems (where permitted) Tamper-resistant hardware Integration with existing security systems Alarmed devices protect your building while maintaining safe evacuation routes.
