Panic Bar & Exit Device Installation in Calera, Hoover & the Birmingham Metro

Where Panic Bars Are Needed

Fire and building codes generally require panic hardware on exit doors in spaces where groups of people gather, such as churches, restaurants, schools, and many retail and office buildings. The exact requirement depends on how the space is used and how many people it holds, and your local fire marshal or building official has the final word. We install hardware that fits your door and works the way the code intends.

Types of Exit Devices

• Rim exit devices, the most common style, mounted on the face of the door
• Surface vertical rod devices for double doors, latching at the top and bottom
• Concealed vertical rod devices hidden inside the door for a clean look
• Mortise exit devices that work with a mortise lock body
• Outside trim with a key cylinder or lever so authorized people can enter
• Alarmed exit devices that sound when an emergency exit is opened

Repairs and Adjustments

A panic bar that sticks, doesn't latch, or needs a hard shove is both a security problem and a safety problem. Doors that don't latch invite break-ins, and devices that don't release easily can slow people down when it matters most. We repair, adjust, and replace exit devices, including worn parts and the strikes they latch into.

Pair It With the Right Locks

Exit devices work alongside the rest of your security. Outside trim can be keyed into your master key system, and the entry side of a door can be controlled with keypad or card access.
