Common questions
Is a crash bar the same as a panic bar?
Yes. Panic bar, crash bar, push bar and exit device are different names for the same thing: the bar you push to open an exit door.
Do I need a panic bar on my exit doors?
Many businesses do. Fire code often requires them on exit doors where lots of people gather. If you’re not sure, we can look during a free walkthrough.
Can you fix my panic bar or do I need a new one?
Many can be fixed with new parts or an adjustment. If it’s worn out or the wrong type, we’ll tell you and give you a price for a new one.
Why won’t my panic bar latch?
The most common causes are a sagging door, a strike that moved, a weak door closer, or worn parts inside the device. Our guide on panic bars that won’t latch covers all six.
My exit door opens from the outside. Is that a problem?
Yes. It means the door is not latching or the outside trim is broken, so your building is not locked. We can fix the latch or the trim.
Can a panic bar work with key cards?
Yes. We can connect exit devices to your access control so the outside opens with a card, and the inside always lets people out.
