Frequently Asked Questions About Panic Bar Installation

What is a panic bar and why is it important for businesses?

A panic bar, also known as a push bar or exit bar, is a safety device installed on exit doors. It allows for quick and easy egress in emergency situations by simply pushing a bar. They are crucial for businesses to comply with fire codes, ensure rapid evacuation, and enhance overall safety for occupants.

How do I know if my business needs a panic bar?

Many commercial buildings, especially those with a higher occupancy or that are classified as public assembly spaces, are legally required to have panic bars installed on exit doors. It’s best to consult with local building codes or our experts to determine your specific requirements based on your business type, size, and location within Delaware.

What types of panic bars are available?

There are generally two main types: the push bar (which requires pushing a horizontal bar) and the push pad (which has a flat plate to push). We also offer options with different locking mechanisms, finishes, and alarm features to suit various security and aesthetic needs.

How long does a panic bar installation typically take?

The duration of a panic bar installation can vary depending on the complexity of the job, the number of doors, and the type of panic bar being installed. However, for most standard installations, our experienced technicians can typically complete the work within a few hours, minimizing any disruption to your business operations.
