PANIC BAR / EXIT DEVICES

Panic exit devices are designed to allow occupants to quickly and easily exit a building in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or other life-threatening situation. With a simple push or touch, panic bars retract the latch bolt, allowing doors to swing open freely and facilitate rapid evacuation.

Benefits of Panic Exit Devices

Emergency Egress

Panic exit devices provide a clear and intuitive means of egress during emergencies, ensuring that occupants can evacuate buildings quickly and safely without the need for keys or special knowledge. This can significantly reduce the risk of injuries or fatalities in critical situations.

Compliance with Building Codes

Many building codes and regulations require the installation of panic exit devices in commercial and public buildings to ensure compliance with safety standards. By installing panic bars, property owners can meet these requirements and enhance the overall safety of their facilities.

Deterrence of Unauthorized Entry

Panic exit devices are designed to allow egress from the inside of a building while deterring unauthorized entry from the outside. This helps prevent intruders from gaining access to the building while still providing a safe and easy exit for occupants.
