Our Panic Bar Installation Process

Our systematic approach to panic bar installation ensures flawless operation and complete code compliance. The process begins with a thorough site assessment where our certified locksmith evaluates your specific requirements, door specifications, traffic patterns, and applicable building codes. We examine the door material, frame construction, existing hardware, and environmental factors that might affect installation.

During the consultation phase, we discuss your specific needs, security concerns, and budgetary considerations. We'll recommend the most appropriate panic bar system for your application, whether that's a rim-mounted device, mortise lock panic bar, vertical rod system, or concealed vertical cable design. Our technicians explain the advantages of each option and help you make an informed decision based on your building's unique requirements.

The preparation and measurement stage involves precise measurements and alignment checks to ensure perfect fit and function. We verify door dimensions, backset requirements, strike plate positioning, and clearances. For fire-rated doors, we take special care to maintain the door's fire rating integrity by using only approved hardware and installation methods.

Professional installation follows manufacturer specifications and building code requirements exactly. We carefully mount the panic bar device, install the latch mechanism, attach strike plates, and make all necessary adjustments. Our technicians ensure the panic bar operates smoothly with minimal pressure (typically 15 pounds or less as required by ADA regulations) and that all components are securely fastened.

Finally, we conduct comprehensive testing and adjustment to verify proper operation under various conditions. We test the panic bar multiple times, check for proper latching and unlatching, verify alignment, and ensure the door closes and latches correctly. We also provide documentation of installation and compliance certification when required for building inspections or insurance purposes.
