Life Safety · Fire Code · ADA
Exit devices installed, repaired and maintained so your doors pass inspection — and your people get out fast when it matters.
A panic bar has one job: let a crowd out of a building with a single push, in the dark, in a panic. Fire marshals check for exactly that — and a seized bar, a dogged-down latch, or a chained exit door is the kind of violation that comes with fines and, in the worst case, liability no business survives. We install and service exit devices to the standard the code actually requires.
Install, Repair, Replace, Maintain
- New installations — the right device class for the door: rim on single doors, vertical rod on pairs, mortise where the frame demands it
- Fire-rated openings — labeled devices on labeled doors, so the assembly's rating survives the hardware
- ADA compliance — opening force and hardware heights that meet accessibility requirements
- Alarmed panic bars — local-alarm devices that stop quiet walk-outs through emergency-only doors
- Repairs — seized push pads, broken latches, dragging vertical rods and stripped dogging mechanisms
- Preventive maintenance — annual checks so inspection day is a formality, not a surprise
Security Without Breaking Egress
Free exit out. Controlled entry in.
Owners sometimes fight their exit doors — chaining them at night, wedging them shut — because they feel like security holes. The lawful fix is hardware: keyed or electrified exterior trim, alarmed bars that howl on use, and delayed-egress devices where the occupancy allows them. You keep the security; the exit stays legal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are panic bars required on my doors?
If a door serves a required exit path in an assembly, education or high-occupancy space, code generally requires single-motion egress hardware. We'll confirm what your occupancy demands on site.
Can a panic bar still keep the door locked from outside?
Yes — the bar always opens from inside, while the exterior trim can be keyed, locked or put on access control. Life safety out, security in.
What is an alarmed panic bar for?
It sounds a local alarm the moment the door opens, discouraging staff shortcuts and shrinkage through back doors while keeping the exit legal.
