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.

Common Panic Bar Installation Questions in Kennett Square

Can you integrate access control with my existing doors? expand_more

Usually yes. We can retrofit most commercial doors with card readers, keypads, or fob systems. We'll assess your current hardware and recommend the most effective solution that meets your security needs.

Is a master key system less secure? expand_more

No, when properly designed. We use high-quality pins and cylinders that are just as pick-resistant as individual locks. Plus, we can combine master key systems with high-security hardware for maximum protection.

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.

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive commercial locksmith services including master key systems, access control installation, high-security locks, safe services, and emergency lockout assistance for businesses.

An employee left with keys. What should I do? expand_more
