What Is a Panic Bar or Exit Device?

A panic bar is also known as a crash bar or exit device. It helps people leave a building during an emergency. You push a horizontal bar to open the door. This works without needing to twist a knob or turn a key.

Fire and building safety codes require these devices in most commercial buildings. This is especially true for places with many people or public access.

Panic bars keep people and property safe. They allow easy exits while keeping doors locked from the outside. However, they are always accessible from inside.

Why Your Business Needs Code-Compliant Exit Devices

Installing the right panic bar is not just about convenience. It is also about compliance and protecting yourself from liability.

Most cities and insurance policies require exit devices that follow ANSI, NFPA, and ADA standards. If hardware is not installed correctly or is outdated, it can cause safety violations and fines.

At Arch City Locksmith, we make sure every installation meets these important standards. We also ensure that the function and look of your doors are matched.

Benefits include:

  • Easy exit in case of fire or emergency
  • Meets local and national fire safety codes
  • Better crowd management for busy places
  • Strong performance for daily commercial use

High-Security and Electrified Options

For businesses that need controlled access, we install electrified exit devices. These devices work with access control systems, smart locks, and fire alarms.

These systems let you manage doors from a distance. You can limit access after hours and monitor who enters while keeping emergency exits clear.

Common uses include:

  • Office buildings with limited employee access
  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities
  • Warehouses and logistics centers
  • Multi-tenant office suites

We make sure each electrified device is wired correctly, tested, and integrated with your current security system.

ADA and Fire Code Compliance

Every panic bar installed by Arch City Locksmith meets or exceeds important standards set by:

  • ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
  • NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
  • UL and ANSI/BHMA

We check that each device:

  • Allows easy single-motion exit
  • Is mounted at the right height (usually 34–48 inches above the floor)
  • Is labeled with the correct fire-rating and compliance marks

Our installation process keeps your property compliant while ensuring long-term safety and reliability.

Finishes and Hardware Options

When it comes to panic bars and exit devices, we know looks matter as much as function. That’s why we offer many finishes to help your panic bars match your doors and hardware. Our options include:

01

Satin Chrome

This standard finish gives a sleek and polished look, making it popular for many businesses.

02

A great choice for glass and metal doors, aluminum is lightweight and strong, combining style and durability.
