Meet more of the life and fire safety code requirements with mechanical and electrified crash bars for doors. Crash bars, also known as panic bars or panic exit devices have a dogging feature that enables the latches to be held retracted to create that push and pull operation. Dogging can be mechanical or electrical to provide the push and pull operation. Crash bars can come with electrical dogging features which are the only mechanism required for exit devices tested for panic and fire conditions. Electrified crash bars are made with heavier parts than standard mechanic panic devices with mechanical dogging. Panic exit devices with mechanical dogging can only be used for non-fire-rated doors. However, with an electric latch retraction kit, any mechanical exit device or crash bar can be electrified. Electrified crash bars can also sync to the fire alarm system to properly close the door in the event an alarm is triggered. In some models, an electrified exit device can be used with an outside card reader, key or credentialed device to allow access to authorized areas. Many of these units can be used for access control and meet demanding building code requirements. We carry electrified and mechanical panic exit devices from top brands like SDC.
