Panic Bar Installation in Folsom, PA

Keeping an entrance locked against outsiders should not mean hunting for a key to get out.

For your business in Folsom, we install panic bars that release the latch when someone pushes from inside. You can keep the exterior side locked and choose whether to have an outside handle operated by a key. If you do not need entry from that side, an installation without an exterior handle may be an option.

A pair of doors needs an arrangement that works with both leaves, rather than treating each opening like a separate single door. We look at how the two meet and which side you use for entry before recommending a setup. If an exit sticks or drags, we check its movement and how it closes. A new device alone will not correct a door that binds against the floor or frame. For a Folsom business, that distinction matters when deciding what work the opening needs before installation.

At your rear delivery door, we look at how the door swings and latches, where the panic bar would fit, and whether the opening sticks or drags.

A device needs a surface that allows it to operate as intended. If something is catching, we explain what we found and whether the opening needs separate repair. Before work starts, we go over the proposed setup so you know what will be installed and how it will operate.

You can keep the entrance locked from outside while allowing people inside to leave with a push. An outside handle with a key gives you a way to admit deliveries or enter from outside. For a pair of doors, we explain the hardware choices for each leaf and how they work together. Once the installation is complete, we check the push operation and latching with you, then test the outside access you selected. We also show you how to use the key if the setup includes one.

A replacement for a worn exit device needs room to work. Keep the path to the door clear of boxes, mats, and anything else that could block its swing.

Check that a push on the bar releases the latch and that the door closes and catches without being pulled shut. Wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth, and avoid spraying cleaners or lubricant into the mechanism. Do not tape down the bar or take the hardware apart to make it easier to use.

Watch for scraping, dragging, or a change in how much force it takes to get out. If the exit sticks, fails to latch, or takes extra force to open, call us to look at it. A key that binds or an outside handle that no longer works as intended is also worth a call. Avoid forcing anything that resists, and keep another exit route clear while the problem is addressed.
