Securing Oxford: 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.
University Community
Lincoln University students and staff require reliable locksmith services for off-campus housing.
Rural-Suburban Mix
Oxford's mix of town and rural properties means varied lock types and access needs.

Our Comprehensive Panic Bar Installation Capabilities
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.
"Electronic safe keypad stopped responding — battery was dead and I didn't have the override key. Kwikey opened the safe, replaced the battery pack, and programmed a new backup code. Also installed the safe in a more accessible location per my request. Very helpful."
"House fire alarm went off at 4am, grabbed my family but not my keys. Once fire dept cleared us, Kwikey came to let us back in. They understood the stress and were patient and kind. True emergency heroes!"
"Airbnb property needed keyless entry so guests don't need physical keys. Kwikey installed Schlage Encode locks on 2 units. Now I change codes remotely between guests. Best upgrade I've made as a host!"
