Commercial Panic Bars & Exit Devices for Safe Building Egress

Panic bars, also known as exit devices or push bar door locks, are essential life-safety products designed to allow occupants to exit quickly during emergencies while maintaining building security.

How to Choose the Right Panic Bar

When selecting an exit device, consider the door material, opening size, fire-rating requirements, security needs, and traffic volume. Rim exit devices are often used on single doors, while vertical rod systems provide additional security for pairs of doors. For storefront applications, narrow stile exit devices from Adams Rite are commonly preferred. Facilities requiring controlled access may also benefit from compatible electrified trim and access control components.
