When exits need panic bars
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
You Failed a Fire Marshal Inspection
The inspector flagged your exit doors for missing or non-functional panic hardware. We install code-compliant exit devices so you pass the re-inspection and avoid fines or closure.
Your Exit Door Won't Stay Locked From the Outside
The panic bar lets people out but doesn't latch securely when closed. We adjust or replace the latch mechanism so the door is secure after hours while still allowing instant exit.
The Push Bar Is Stuck or Requires Too Much Force
If people have to shove the bar hard to exit, it's both an ADA violation and a life-safety hazard. We repair or replace the internal springs so it opens with a light push.
Employees Keep Propping the Back Door Open
An open exit door is a security hole. We install alarmed panic bars that sound a loud alert when the door is opened, discouraging propping while still allowing emergency exit.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Pass Your Fire Inspection the First Time
We install hardware that meets NFPA 101 and local fire codes. If you've already failed an inspection, we address the specific violations so you pass the re-inspection without issues.
People Can Exit Instantly in an Emergency
In a fire or emergency, occupants push the bar and the door opens immediately - no keys, no turning handles, no confusion. That's what panic hardware is designed for.
The Door Stays Locked From the Outside
Panic bars are one-directional. People inside can always exit, but the door remains locked to anyone trying to enter from outside - security and safety in one piece of hardware.
Commercial-Grade Hardware That Handles Heavy Use
We install Grade 1 panic bars built for hundreds of thousands of cycles. They handle the daily abuse of commercial traffic without loosening, sticking, or failing to latch.
Panic Bar Installation for Fire Code Compliance in Delaware
If your business, church, school, or venue has exit doors that don't meet fire code, you're at risk of fines, failed inspections, or worse - people unable to exit safely in an emergency. Kwikey Locksmith installs and repairs panic bars (push-to-exit hardware) across Delaware and nearby Pennsylvania. We make sure your exit doors let people out instantly while staying locked from the outside.
Failed Your Fire Inspection? We Fix Exit Hardware Violations
A failed fire marshal inspection means your exit hardware is either missing, broken, or non-compliant. Common violations include panic bars that don't latch, doors that require too much force to open, or exit paths without proper hardware for the occupancy load. We address the specific violations noted in your inspection report and install hardware that passes on re-inspection.
Exit Hardware That Balances Safety and Security
Panic bars solve a specific problem: letting people exit instantly during an emergency while keeping the door locked from the outside. This is different from access control (which manages who enters) or standard locks (which don't allow instant exit). We install commercial-grade panic bars from Von Duprin and Sargent that handle years of heavy use without failing - because exit hardware has to work every single time.

Panic Bar Installation FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Does my business actually need panic bars?
If your building has an occupancy over 50 people (or 100 in some jurisdictions), fire code requires panic hardware on exit doors. Restaurants, churches, schools, retail stores, and event venues almost always need them.
Can I keep the panic bar unlocked during business hours?
Yes. Most panic bars have a 'dogging' feature that keeps the latch retracted during the day so customers can push the door open freely. You re-engage it with a key when you close up.
What's the difference between a panic bar and a fire exit device?
Fire exit devices are specifically rated for fire-rated door openings (stairwells, rated corridors). Standard panic bars are for non-fire-rated doors. We determine which you need based on your door's fire rating.
Can you install a panic bar on a glass storefront door?
Yes. Narrow-stile glass doors require specialized panic hardware designed for their thinner frames. We carry hardware specifically made for aluminum and glass storefronts.
Can you repair my existing panic bar instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If it's a quality brand like Von Duprin or Sargent, we can usually replace internal springs or latch components to restore full function at a fraction of the cost of new hardware.
Need panic bars installed or repaired for code compliance?
Tell us your door type (steel, aluminum, or glass), how many doors need hardware, and whether you have inspection notes. We'll confirm availability and come prepared for your specific doors.
