Commercial door exit devices

Exit devices, commonly known as panic bars or crash bars, serve several functions:

 

1.Emergency Exit: Their primary function is to provide a quick and easy exit from a building in case of emergencies such as fires or other hazards.

2.Security: Exit devices often include locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access from the outside while still allowing easy egress from the inside. This ensures that the building remains secure while still complying with fire safety regulations.

3.Accessibility: Exit devices are designed to be operable with minimal force, making them accessible to people of all abilities, including those with disabilities or mobility impairments.

4.Compliance: They help buildings comply with local building codes and fire regulations, which often mandate the use of panic hardware in certain occupancy types and building configurations.

5.Durability: Exit devices are constructed to withstand frequent use and abuse, ensuring reliable operation over time.

6.Integration: Some exit devices can be integrated with electronic access control systems, allowing for monitoring and control of building access.
