Panic Bars / Exit Devices Installation
Code-compliant panic bars and exit devices, installed at your North Dallas business by a licensed mobile locksmith.
Panic bar installation is the mounting and adjustment of push-to-exit hardware (also called exit devices or crash bars) on commercial doors so people can leave instantly in an emergency. Apex Locksmith Pros installs, repairs, and replaces rim, mortise, and vertical-rod exit devices on storefront, fire-rated, and back-of-house doors across 20 North Dallas cities. We size the device to your door, set the latch and strike, and make sure egress meets fire and ADA requirements.
- Free on-site assessment of your doors, frames, and code requirements
- Right device for the door type: rim, mortise, or surface/concealed vertical rod
- Proper strike alignment and latch adjustment so the door closes and locks clean
- Fire-rated and ADA egress checks, plus outside trim or exit-only setup as needed
Commercial work is quoted per door after a free on-site assessment. No public flat rate.
How Panic Bar Installation Works
We come to your business, match the hardware to your doors and your code obligations, and install it right the first time.
- 1
On-site assessment
A tech measures your door, checks the frame and door type (hollow metal, aluminum storefront, wood), and confirms whether it's fire-rated. Then we quote the device and labor per door.
- 2
Install the right device
We mount the exit device, set the strike, and adjust the latch. Rim devices for single doors, mortise for higher-traffic openings, vertical rod for pairs without a center mullion.
- 3
Test egress and lockup
We confirm the door opens with one motion under load, dogs down where allowed, locks securely from outside, and meets fire and ADA exit rules before we leave.
- 4
Pay per door, as quoted
You pay the per-door price set at the assessment, device and labor together.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on occupancy type and how many people use the space. Assembly, educational, and high-occupancy rooms usually require panic hardware on exit doors, and a fire marshal can cite you for the wrong lock; we check your doors against current code during the assessment.
Most aluminum storefront, hollow metal, and solid wood doors can take an exit device. We measure the door and stile width on site and pick a rim, mortise, or vertical-rod device that fits without weakening the door.
Rim devices mount on the door surface and suit most single doors, mortise devices fit into the door edge for heavier traffic, and vertical rod devices latch top and bottom for double doors without a center post. We recommend the type based on your door and usage.
Yes. We add outside trim, like a keyed lever or pull, so staff can lock and unlock entry while the push bar always lets people exit freely from inside. We can also set a door as exit-only with no outside trim.
Yes, but fire-rated openings need fire-rated exit devices that latch and self-close, and the bar can't be dogged down to stay unlatched. We confirm the door's rating and install hardware that keeps the fire label valid.
