Securing Delaware City: Expert Panic Bar Installation Insights

Failed Fire Inspection

The fire marshal flagged your exit hardware as non-compliant or non-functional. You need it fixed before you can pass reinspection. We install and repair exit devices to meet Delaware and Pennsylvania fire codes.

Panic Bar Won't Latch or Won't Release

A panic bar that doesn't latch leaves your building unsecured. One that doesn't release is a life-safety hazard. Either way, it needs immediate professional attention — we diagnose and resolve both issues.

Building Renovation or Tenant Changeover

New tenant, new occupancy type, new fire code requirements. Whether you're converting retail space, adding a commercial kitchen, or increasing occupancy capacity, your exit hardware may need upgrading.

Non-ADA-Compliant Exit Doors

ADA requires exit hardware that can be operated with minimal force and without grasping, pinching, or twisting. If your exits use round knobs or require key operation, you may need panic bar upgrades for compliance.

Employees Propping Open Emergency Exits

Staff propping fire exits open for convenience creates a security breach and fire code violation. Alarmed panic bars solve this — the door stays secure, employees can still exit in an emergency, and unauthorized openings trigger an alert.

Step-by-Step Panic Bar Installation Mastery

Door and Frame Assessment

We evaluate your door type, frame material, hinge configuration, and existing hardware to determine the right exit device model and mounting approach.

Code Requirements Review

We verify your building's occupancy classification and applicable fire code requirements to ensure the hardware we install will pass inspection.

Professional Installation

Precision mounting, proper alignment, and secure attachment to ensure the panic bar functions reliably under normal use and emergency conditions.

Function and Compliance Testing

We test latching, releasing, re-securing, and — if applicable — alarm function. The door must open freely from inside, latch securely from outside, and meet all force requirements.

Documentation and Walkthrough

We walk your facility manager through the hardware operation and provide documentation that supports your fire inspection and insurance requirements.

Everything You Need to Know About Panic Bar Installation

Should my safe be bolted to the floor? expand_more

Absolutely, for any safe under 750 lbs. Thieves often steal smaller safes to crack later at their leisure. Bolting eliminates this risk. We include professional anchoring in our safe installation service.

What is panic bar or crash bar hardware? expand_more

Panic hardware is the push-bar exit device required by fire code on many commercial doors. It allows immediate emergency exit while remaining secure from the outside. We install, repair, and maintain all types of panic hardware.

Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more

Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.

Can you open my commercial safe if I forgot the combination? expand_more

Yes, we are highly trained safe technicians. We can open most commercial safes without damage using manipulation techniques or specialized tools. We can also change the combination after and provide documentation for your records.

What type of lock is recommended for a storefront glass door? expand_more

We typically recommend Adams Rite or similar storefront locks designed specifically for aluminum-frame glass doors. They're secure, durable, and designed for high-traffic commercial use. We carry parts for most major brands.

What if I'm not satisfied with the work? expand_more

We provide a 90-day service commitment on all workmanship and hardware installations. If you encounter any operational issues during this period, we will return to your location for a diagnostic assessment and resolution as part of our service pledge. Your security and peace of mind are our primary operational priorities.
