Panic Bars
Panic Bars for Commercial and Public Buildings
Panic bars are required by code on most commercial exit doors for a reason. They let anyone leave quickly without thinking about how the door opens.
Built for Heavy Daily Use
Our commercial panic bars hold up through years of constant cycling in schools, offices and public buildings without frequent adjustment or failure.
Fire-Rated and Standard Egress Options
Our panic bars for exit doors meet NFPA and IBC requirements and are available for both fire-rated and standard openings.
Double Door Openings
Getting double doors right takes more than two panic bars. Our selection includes compatible coordinators and mullions so both leaves work and latch together properly.
Glass Door Applications
Our panic bars for glass doors mount securely on frameless and semi-frameless storefronts without putting stress on the glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I legally need a panic bar on my commercial door?
It depends on occupancy type and local code. Most commercial buildings require them on main exit doors, fire exits and any door serving a high-occupancy space. Check with your local authority having jurisdiction.
Can a panic bar be locked from the outside?
Yes. Most panic bars have an outside trim option that controls entry with a key or access credential while always allowing free exit from the inside.
What is the difference between panic bars for single and double doors?
Single door panic bars latch at one point. Double door setups need a coordinator so both leaves close in the right order and latch properly together.
Will a standard panic bar fit a glass door?
Not always. Glass doors need panic bars designed specifically for frameless or semi-frameless applications. A standard unit can damage the glass if mounted incorrectly.
Can I use a panic bar on a fire-rated door?
Yes but the device needs to carry a fire rating for that specific door assembly. Confirm the rating before purchasing.
What does a panic bar with outside trim mean?
It means the device includes hardware on the pull side of the door, usually a lever or pull, that controls entry from outside while the panic bar handles egress from inside.
