Panic Bar Installation in Woodlyn, PA

Your delivery door at the back of a Woodlyn business may be locked against entry, yet you still need a simple way to get out.

We install panic bars and other exit devices that release the door when you push from inside. You can keep the outside locked and choose an exterior handle that opens with a key when you need access. Using a key to enter does not mean you need one to leave.

A pair of exit doors needs hardware suited to how the two sides meet and whether one or both sides need a push bar. If a door sticks or drags, tell us where it catches rather than forcing it shut or wedging it open. We look at the door setup and explain the choices for your entrance. For a sticking door in Woodlyn, we can also check whether it closes and engages as it should, and identify a problem that needs attention beyond the exit hardware.

We start by looking at both doors as a pair, including how they meet and whether either one sticks or drags.

We check how each side is secured and how much clear space you need when both are open. A single push may release only one side, so we look at how the pair operates together. Before starting the installation, we explain what the existing opening will accept and whether sticking or dragging needs separate attention.

We also go over how you want people to enter from outside. You may choose an exterior handle operated by a key, or keep the outside without a handle while still allowing exit from within. For the pair, we explain the available ways to release each side and what it takes to open the full width. After installation, we check the push bars and the way both sides close and latch. You can try the operation with us, including the outside key if you chose one, so you can see how each side releases and resets.

Keep the path to your rear delivery door clear on both sides, including the space where it swings open.

Boxes and carts can shift into the doorway, so give deliveries a separate place to land. Don't tape down the panic bar or prop the door open with it. Check the inside push action regularly, and make sure the outside handle stays locked when it should and your key works.

If the door starts to drag, sticks shut or needs a hard push to open, don't force it or try to adjust the hardware yourself. Use another exit and call us to check the problem. Also watch for a bar that feels loose or a door that won't latch when it closes. A door that stays partly open may leave the outside entrance unsecured.
