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.

Code Requirements Review

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

"Fire marshal cited our restaurant for non-compliant exit hardware. Kwikey installed Von Duprin panic bars on both emergency exits the next day. Passed re-inspection with flying colors. They understood the urgency and made it happen."

Everything You Need to Know About Panic Bar Installation

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

Rekey immediately. We can rekey your entire business professionally and affordably—often in a single visit. With access control systems, you can delete their credential in seconds. Either way, don't wait. Call us today for peace of mind.

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's the difference between key cards and fob access? expand_more

Both use RFID technology. Key cards are credit-card sized and often more practical. Fobs are keychain-sized and more convenient. Both can be instantly deactivated when an employee leaves. We install and program both types.

Do you offer after-hours locksmith service for businesses? expand_more

Yes, we understand businesses don't always operate 9-5. Whether you need an emergency lockout resolved after hours or scheduled lock installation on a Sunday to avoid business disruption, we're available during our extended operating hours for commercial clients.

What are the advantages of a commercial master key system? expand_more

A master key system allows business owners to access every door with a single key while restricting specific employees to their designated areas. This enhances internal security and simplifies access management for complexes and office buildings.

How does a master key system work? expand_more

A master key system lets different keys open different doors while one master key opens them all. Perfect for property managers, office buildings, and retail stores. Each employee gets access only to their areas while owners maintain full access.
