Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a panic bar and an exit device?
They refer to the same category of hardware. “Exit device” is the formal industry term. “Panic bar,” “push bar,” and “crash bar” are common names for the same life-safety hardware that allows single-motion egress.
Do I need a fire-rated exit device?
It depends on the door and the occupancy type. Fire-rated doors require fire-rated exit devices. We evaluate the opening and install the correct hardware so you stay compliant with local code and fire marshal requirements.
Can you repair a broken Dorma Kaba or Von Duprin panic bar?
Yes. We regularly repair and replace DormaKaba, Von Duprin, Falcon, Detex, and other major brands. In many cases a side plate, latch, or dogging mechanism can be repaired instead of a full replacement.
How long does a typical panic bar replacement take?
Most single-door replacements are completed the same day once the correct hardware is on site. We test the device thoroughly before we leave so you know it functions correctly under load.
