What Is A Panic Bar?

A panic bar, also called an exit device or crash bar, is mounted on the inside of a commercial door.

When pressure is applied to the horizontal bar, the door immediately unlocks, allowing occupants to leave safely without searching for a key or turning a knob.

These devices are commonly installed on:

• Office buildings
• Retail stores
• Restaurants
• Schools
• Churches
• Hospitals
• Hotels
• Warehouses
• Government buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Industrial facilities
• Shopping centers
