Panic Bars & Exit Devices From $450 — licensed commercial locksmith serving Santa Rosa, CA.
Panic Bars & Exit Devices in Santa Rosa, CA
A restaurant owner on Sebastopol Road called us the morning after a fire inspection — two exit doors flagged, 30 days to fix or face fines. We had Von Duprin rim-mount panic bars on both doors by the next afternoon.
Brands and Styles We Service
We install and repair panic bars from Von Duprin, Sargent, Precision, Dorma, and Yale. Options include rim-mount exit devices, concealed vertical rod devices for double doors, and mortise exit devices for high-traffic entrances. Our technicians help you choose the right style based on door type, traffic volume, and fire-code requirements specific to your Sonoma County location.
Code Compliance and Inspections
Fire marshals in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and throughout Sonoma County inspect panic hardware regularly. A sticky push bar, a misaligned latch, or a missing dogging key can result in a citation. We perform proactive inspections and corrective repairs so your exit devices pass every time.
Repair and Replacement
Panic bars endure thousands of push cycles per year. Internal springs wear out, latches lose tension, and exterior trim gets damaged. A church off Sonoma Highway had a push bar so worn the latch would not engage at all — we swapped the entire device between Sunday services. We carry common replacement parts on our service vehicles and can usually complete repairs in a single visit. When repair is not cost-effective, we recommend and install a new device the same day.
Panic Bars & Exit Devices — Frequently Asked Questions
Does my business need a panic bar on every exit door?
California Building Code requires panic hardware on exit doors in assembly, educational, and high-hazard occupancies, and on any exit door serving 50 or more occupants. We evaluate your building and advise which doors need panic hardware to stay compliant.
Can you install an alarm on a panic bar?
Yes. We install delayed-egress and alarm-equipped panic bars that sound an alert when pushed, discouraging unauthorized use while still allowing emergency exit after a brief delay.
How much does panic bar installation cost?
A standard rim-mount panic bar installation starts at $450 including hardware. Concealed vertical rod and mortise devices are higher depending on the door configuration. We provide exact pricing after assessing your door.
Do I need a fire marshal inspection after panic bar installation?
It depends on your municipality. Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and other Sonoma County jurisdictions may require inspection after new panic hardware installation or replacement. We install to code and can coordinate with your local fire marshal if needed. Call (707) 775-7069 to schedule.
