A panic bar (also known as an exit device or crash bar) is a type of door-opening mechanism that allows users to open a door by pushing on a bar or push-pad. They are required by law in many commercial buildings to allow for quick and easy egress in an emergency.
Yes, we can professionally install hardware that you provide. However, we recommend consulting with us first to ensure the hardware is the appropriate grade and type for your specific commercial door and security needs. We also offer a full warranty on the parts and labor for the high-quality hardware we supply.
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance ensures that doors are accessible to people with disabilities. For hardware, this typically means using lever-operated handles instead of round knobs that require tight grasping and twisting. It also governs the amount of force required to open a door and the speed at which a door closer operates to allow safe passage. We are experts in ADA standards and can perform an assessment to ensure all the hardware on your doors meets these critical legal requirements.
This is a great question. Commercial grade hardware is specifically designed to withstand the high traffic and heavy use of a business environment. It is rated by ANSI/BHMA standards, with “Grade 1” being the highest, tested for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Residential hardware is not built for this level of abuse and will fail quickly, leading to frequent, costly repairs and potential security vulnerabilities. Investing in the correct commercial grade hardware from the start is more secure and cost-effective in the long run.
My door is sagging and difficult to close, or it doesn't latch properly. Is that a hardware problem?
Yes, those are classic signs of a hardware issue. A sagging door is often caused by worn-out or failing hinges that can no longer support the door’s weight. A door that doesn’t latch properly could be due to this misalignment or an issue with the lock’s strike plate. These problems are not just an inconvenience; they represent a significant security risk. Our technicians can diagnose the specific cause—whether it’s the hinges, the door closer, or the frame—and perform the necessary repairs to restore proper function and security.
