High-Traffic Door Hardware
Commercial doors rely on hardware suited to the opening and traffic. Door closers control closing and latching, while panic bars are designed to release exit doors when operated. iProtect Locksmith assesses and services this hardware within the confirmed scope.
When these devices fail, doors slam dangerously, stay propped open, drag on the threshold, or stop latching altogether, compromising your building’s security and your liability.
We Service
- Hydraulic Door Closers: Surface-mounted closers, concealed overhead closers, and floor springs. We adjust sweep and latch speeds to ensure smooth operation.
- Panic Bars and Exit Devices: Assessing and servicing rim, mortise, and vertical-rod devices for their intended operation and approved opening.
- Exterior Lever Trim: Repairing or replacing the keyed handles on the outside of exit doors.
- Heavy-Duty Commercial Hardware: Upgrading standard components to Grade 1 hardware designed for extreme high-traffic environments like schools and hospitals.
Safety First
Exit hardware must be appropriate for the specific door and use case. We inspect the opening, frame, existing hardware, and traffic needs before recommending work; the building representative should confirm code, permit, accessibility, and inspection requirements with the authority having jurisdiction or another qualified professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
My commercial door slams shut violently. Can it be fixed?
A slamming door means the hydraulic fluid inside the door closer has leaked or the internal valves have failed. While minor speed adjustments can sometimes be made, a leaking closer usually requires a full replacement.
Are panic bars required by law on commercial doors?
Panic-hardware requirements depend on occupancy, use, approved design, and the authority having jurisdiction. These devices are intended to support prompt egress, but the property representative should confirm what the specific opening requires.
Can you install an alarm on my emergency exit panic bar?
Yes, we install alarmed exit devices. These function normally as a panic bar to allow exit during a fire, but sound a loud siren if used, deterring employees or shoplifters from using the back door.
