Panic Bars | Commercial Locksmith in Ottawa

Panic Bar Installation and Repair Services

In commercial properties, safety is a top priority. Panic bars (also known as exit devices or crash bars) are essential components of any emergency exit system, allowing occupants to quickly and safely exit in case of an emergency. At The Queen’s Locksmith, we specialize in the installation, maintenance, and repair of panic bars to ensure your business meets safety regulations and provides an efficient escape route for employees and customers.

What Are Panic Bars?

Panic bars are emergency exit devices designed to make it easy for people to open a door quickly in case of an emergency, such as a fire or other dangerous situation. The bar, typically located horizontally across a door, can be pressed to release the locking mechanism and allow the door to open, even if it’s locked. These devices are often used in high-traffic commercial areas, such as:

• Offices

• Retail stores

• Healthcare facilities

• Schools and universities

• Industrial spaces

• Government buildings

Panic bars are especially crucial for meeting safety codes, as they help ensure a swift evacuation during an emergency.

Why Are Panic Bars Important for Your Business?

1. Compliance with Fire and Safety Codes: Panic bars are required by law in many commercial buildings. They are essential for meeting local fire and safety regulations, particularly for buildings with a large number of occupants. Without panic bars, your property may be at risk of non-compliance, which could result in fines or other legal consequences.

2. Quick and Easy Emergency Exit: In times of crisis, every second counts. Panic bars allow individuals to exit the building quickly without fumbling with keys or complex locks. By simply pushing the bar, the door opens instantly, ensuring a smooth and swift evacuation.

3. Enhancing Safety for Employees and Customers: Panic bars are designed to prevent panic-induced chaos by making exits clear and easy to access. Whether you're running a busy retail store or managing a high-traffic office, panic bars provide peace of mind that your building is ready for emergencies.

4. Durability and Reliability: Panic bars are built to withstand high usage and remain functional in high-traffic environments. They are designed to be durable, reliable, and easy to operate, ensuring that your exit doors will always open when needed most.

5. Security with Controlled Access: While panic bars allow for easy exit, they also offer controlled access from the outside. This means that unauthorized individuals cannot easily enter your property, but authorized personnel can safely exit during emergencies.
