Kwikey Locksmith Services Inc
Panic Bar and Exit Device Installation and Repair
Panic bars, also called push bars or exit devices, let people leave a building with one push while keeping the door locked from the outside. Kwikey Locksmith installs, repairs and replaces exit devices for stores, offices, restaurants, warehouses and multi-unit buildings across Palm Beach County. Call 561-328-3308.
Common problems we fix
- Bar does not latch, so the door stays open
- Door will not open from outside with the key or trim
- Sticking or broken push bar
- Vertical rods out of adjustment on double doors
- Worn dogging, so the bar will not hold open during business hours
Types of exit devices
We work on rim exit devices, mortise exit devices, and surface or concealed vertical rod devices, along with outside trims (pull, lever or key-only), alarmed exit bars that sound when the door is opened, and electrified devices that tie into access control.
Code and inspections
Many commercial exit doors are required by fire code to have panic hardware. If a fire inspector or landlord has flagged a door, tell us what the notice says and we will quote the hardware that matches it.
Frequently asked questions
Can a panic bar work with a keypad or key fob?
Yes. Electrified exit devices and electric strikes can connect to a keypad or key fob access control system.
