How do you use your entry system once you have it? Panic Exit Pro is the only retailer that provides a real answer to this question. We have developed videos to help you understand many of our door entry components and products, and we write DIY-focused manuals for most entry system accessories. |
Changing from Right or Left-Hand Mounting:
There is no top or bottom on this panic exit bar. Rotating the bar 180 degrees will position the latch in the opposite direction, allowing for either right- or left-hand mounting.
Dogging:
This panic bar is equipped with Allen key dogging. Dogging is a method of leaving the panic exit bar unlatched for free entry through the door. Allen key dogging is a secure method of keeping the panic exit bar unlocked. Although an Allen key is a common tool, it is something most individuals would not typically have available. With the alternate method of dogging, knob dogging, anyone can walk up and turn the knob, leaving the panic bar unlocked. When the Allen key is inserted and turned, the latch on the end of the panic bar retracts and remains retracted until the key is turned back to its original position.
Optional Accessories (Sold Separately):
Door Closer
There are several variations of door closers with different features; however, the main purpose is the same: to ensure the door stays closed. Because this door will always latch to the strike, a door closer is a popular addition to help ensure the door remains closed and locked.
Keyless Panic Trims and Other Trims
If outside access is required, one of these accessories must be purchased; otherwise, the door can only be opened from the inside using the panic bar. PanicExitPro offers LockeyUSA keyless locks, which replace the keyed cylinder and are commonly used with panic devices. Lockey also offers a variety of easy-to-install trims.
Panic Exit Pro has actual experience.
We have a dedicated testing area, provide factory and in-house training, have installed this equipment on our own properties, attend industry trade shows in multiple countries, and visit our manufacturers' factories. When you see and use as many products as we have, you develop ideas for small improvements that make a significant difference. We have put those ideas into practice and used them to help thousands of customers create entry control solutions that work for their unique applications. |
