Commercial Exit Devices

Exit Devices

Exit devices, commonly referred to as panic devices or crash bars, are door locks that allow single action egress on doors that exit the building. A well-maintained exit device provides both physical security to prevent unwanted entry but also allows simple exit, especially in an emergency situation. Exit devices can be single-point security or multi-point security depending on the end user’s needs.  Multi-point exit devices can have the latch and one or two vertical rods. The vertical rods secure into the header and threshold of the door frame to provide excellent security. The vertical rods can either be concealed in the door for better aesthetics or left exposed to save money. Aside from mechanical panic devices, there are electrified devices when access control is needed which will provide yet another level of security for your building.
