The Sentry Safety 140 Series Panic Exit Bar is a heavy-duty, surface-mounted exit device designed for secure and reliable emergency egress in commercial applications. Built with a 3-point latching system, this model enhances door security by locking at both the top and bottom of the door, as well as at the side frame for improved stability and protection.
This unit is available in separate right-hand or left-hand configurations, and the handing cannot be changed after purchase. Proper selection is required prior to installation. The system is designed for use with 28-inch or 36-inch push bar options, making it suitable for standard commercial exit doors.
The 140 Series installs on the interior (rear face) of the door, with rods extending to a top surface strike and a bottom floor keeper that secures into a drop pin system. This creates a strong, multi-point locking mechanism ideal for high-traffic and security-sensitive environments.
Recommended Applications:
- Glass doors with a metal stile (frame) at least 2" wide, or 4" wide when using an outside handle
- Steel, wood, and composite solid-face doors
- Doors up to a maximum width of 38.25"
- Doors up to a maximum thickness of 3-3/8"
- Doors with any usage frequency (light, medium, or high traffic)

Trimming the Panic Bar to Size:
The crossbar that connects the two handles is provided ready for sizing. To shorten the bar, simply cut it to the required length using a hacksaw or miter saw. Drill a 3/16" hole in the bar for the set screw, then attach it to the handles.
Order Correct Right or Left Hand Model:
This style of panic bar is configured for either right-hand or left-hand use and cannot be changed after purchase. To determine the correct handing, stand in front of the door with it swinging away from you. If the hinges are on the right, order a right-hand model. If the hinges are on the left, order a left-hand model.
Latching and Mounting:
This panic bar is surface mounted and installed on the rear (secure side) face of the door. The strike mounts to the door frame behind the door, not on the interior frame where a traditional handle may have previously been installed. If the door has an existing handle, it must be removed before installation. Cover caps are available to fill the holes left behind, and door jamb brackets are available to cover the previous latch location on the frame. Mounting bolts are included. However, depending on the door material, you may use wood screws, self-tapping metal screws, or sex bolts of the same diameter. Sex bolts provide a stronger installation by fastening both sides of the door, with male and female components joining through the door for a secure hold.
Optional Products Associated with This Bar (Sold Separately):
Outside Door Handle with Key Release
There are two handle options available: a lever handle and a knob handle. Both function the same way and replace the exterior cylinder lock. The handle operates the panic exit bar in the same way as the original cylinder lock, providing a momentary release. It is key-lockable, preventing operation without the key. The key does not directly release the panic bar; it only locks or unlocks the handle, which then operates the panic bar. The key cylinder is non-momentary, meaning it does not automatically return to the locked position.
Surface-Mounted Electric Strike
This provides an alternative method for releasing the door from the outside or from a remote location. The electric strike replaces the standard mechanical strike. When not energized, the strike functions normally and the panic bar engages as expected. When activated by an access control device, the door can be opened from the outside. Compatible access control devices include keypads, card readers, intercoms, desk push buttons, remote controls, and GSM cellular receivers. If an electric strike is installed, an exterior pull handle and appropriate access control system are also required.
Door Closer
Door closers are available in several styles and configurations, but their purpose is the same: to ensure the door closes automatically. Because this door always latches to the strike, a door closer is a recommended accessory to help ensure the door remains securely closed and locked.
Pull Handle
/Finger Pull
This accessory is used with a cylinder lock (sold separately). When unlocking the panic exit bar with the key, you must pull the door open at the same time. These handles provide a secure grip for opening the door while turning the key.
