Exit Devices & Panic Bars — FAQ
Does my business need a panic bar?
Ohio fire codes generally require panic hardware on exit doors in buildings with high occupancy, assembly areas, and educational facilities. We can assess your doors and let you know which ones require them.
Can a panic bar be keyed so it locks from the outside?
Yes. Most exit devices include an exterior trim option — lever, knob, or pull — with a keyed cylinder that allows authorized re-entry from outside while maintaining free egress from inside.
How long do panic bars last before they need replacing?
High-quality exit devices are rated for hundreds of thousands of cycles and typically last 10–20 years with periodic maintenance. We offer tune-up visits to keep them functioning smoothly.
