A panic bar — also called a push bar or exit device — is a mechanical assembly that allows quick egress by pushing a horizontal bar. Proper selection of a device depends on the door type, orientation, and whether the door has a mullion, glass sidelights, or a fire rating. Our technicians evaluate the door material, frame condition and existing lockset to choose a compatible exit device and mounting method. When necessary, the installer will prepare the door and frame for surface or mortise mounting, and match strike locations for smooth latching. Electrified options, such as delayed egress or alarmed exit devices, are available and discussed during the on-site assessment when they are required or desired. After fitting the hardware, the installer adjusts the mechanism to ensure the bar engages and releases cleanly across temperature and humidity changes that affect commercial doors. Maintenance recommendations are provided so a building manager can keep the device functioning between professional inspections.
What affects the cost
Cost depends on the type of device, the door configuration, and whether any door or frame preparation is required. You will receive a price quoted over the phone before we start work so there are no surprises.

Worth knowing before you call
A common misconception is that any push bar will fit every commercial door; in practice, door construction and frame condition dictate which devices are appropriate. If a business has a fire-rated door, mention it during the phone call so the installer considers rated hardware options. Some managers think electrified exit devices always require major rewiring; often the electrician work is limited but it depends on the existing wiring and chosen device. Regular testing is important because dirt, humidity and heavy use can cause a functioning device to stick or misalign. Keep a simple inspection log and look for signs such as the bar not returning fully, loose fasteners, or visible wear on the latching surfaces. If you hear unusual noises during operation, do not delay calling a technician; early attention can avoid more extensive repairs or a failed egress device. Finally, remember that a quoted price over the phone comes before work begins so you can approve or decline the service without commitment.
