Panic Hardware Solutions
Panic Bar Installation
We supply and properly mount commercial-grade panic bars (crash bars) on single and double doors. Ensure your building offers fast, unhindered exit during emergencies.
Crash Bar Repair
Is your exit device sticking, failing to latch, or missing parts? We can diagnose and repair mechanical issues in existing panic bars to restore smooth operation and security.
Exterior Trim & Access
Need employees to enter from the outside? We install exterior lock cylinders, levers, and keypads (trim) that integrate perfectly with your interior panic bar system.
Alarmed Exit Devices
Prevent unauthorized exits and inventory theft. We install panic bars with built-in battery-operated alarms that sound at 100+ decibels when the door is opened.
Fire-Rated Hardware
Certain doors require strictly tested, fire-rated exit devices that cannot be mechanically dogged (locked open). We ensure your hardware meets strict Fire Marshal codes.
Push Paddles & Hospital Latches
For low-profile needs or healthcare facilities, we install push/pull paddles that allow easy hands-free egress while maintaining secure exterior locking.
Premium Commercial Brands & Types
Why Code Compliance Matters
Commercial door hardware is strictly regulated. Installing the wrong type of panic bar can result in failed inspections, heavy fines, or compromised security. Here is why Phoenix businesses rely on Picky Locksmith:
- Code Expertise: We understand the complex requirements of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and local Fire and Life Safety codes regarding egress.
- Heavy-Duty Hardware: Retail stores and schools put incredible strain on doors. We source Grade 1 commercial hardware designed to withstand millions of cycles.
- Precision Installation: A panic bar must align perfectly with the strike plate and door closer to function. We ensure flawless operation on glass, metal, and wood doors.
- Complete Door Service: From the hinges to the door closer, we can repair or upgrade the entire commercial door assembly.
Commercial Security in Phoenix
We serve businesses, schools, restaurants, and retail spaces across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale, and the surrounding East and West Valley.
Panic Bar & Exit Device FAQs
Are panic bars required by law for my business?
In most cases, yes. Building codes generally require panic hardware on doors serving assembly occupancies (like restaurants or theaters) with an occupant load of 50 or more, and educational/high-hazard occupancies. We can help assess your doors, though final approval comes from your local Fire Marshal.
Can I lock a door with a panic bar from the outside?
Yes. The fundamental design of a panic bar ensures that the door can ALWAYS be opened from the inside for safe exit, regardless of whether the outside handle (trim) is locked or unlocked.
What is “dogging” a panic bar?
Dogging is a feature that uses a special hex key to hold the push pad down and keep the latch retracted. This allows the door to be pushed or pulled open freely without operating the latch. This is great for high-traffic hours in retail stores. However, fire-rated doors are NOT allowed to have a dogging feature.
Can you repair an old Von Duprin or Falcon crash bar?
Yes. Top commercial brands are highly modular. Instead of replacing the entire $1,000+ device, we can often order and replace specific broken components, like dogging assemblies, springs, or latch bolts, saving your business money.
