Solving Your Panic Bar Installation Challenges in Phoenixville

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.

Our Professional Panic Bar Installation Workflow

1

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.

2

Code Requirements Review

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

3

Professional Installation

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

4

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.

5

Documentation and Walkthrough

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

"Storm door lock wouldn't retract properly, trapping me inside each time I came home. Kwikey adjusted the mechanism and now it works smoothly. Small problem but made daily life so much easier. Thank you!"

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Panic Bar Installation

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
