What does panic bar installation and repair involve?

Panic bars (also called push bars or exit devices) let people leave a building with one push. Fire and building codes require them on many commercial exits.

The common problems are doors that do not latch, bars that stick, dogging that will not hold, and damage from carts or forced entry. We repair the device when it can be fixed and replace it when it cannot.

What's included

  • Rim, vertical-rod, and mortise exit devices
