Your Local Authority for Panic Bar Installation in Downingtown
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.
Commuter Community
Downingtown's SEPTA station makes it a commuter hub. We offer flexible scheduling for busy professionals.
Growing Suburban Area

Our Comprehensive Panic Bar Installation Capabilities
How We Master Panic Bar Installation in Downingtown
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.
"Transponder key for my Toyota stopped working after the battery died. Dealer said I needed a new one for a premium. Kwikey reprogrammed my existing key for a fraction of that. Works perfectly now!"
"Community mailbox lock was stuck and USPS couldn't deliver our mail. Kwikey replaced the lock on site and provided three new keys. Quick visit and very reasonable price for saving us from weeks of missed packages."
