What are the Requirements for commercial panic bars

A commercial panic bar is a device used to quickly and easily open a door in case of an emergency. In order to ensure that commercial panic bars are properly installed and working, there are several requirements that must be met. It is important to comply with the requirements in order to ensure the safety of facility occupants.

• Must meet NFPA 80 regulations

• Must be UL listed

• Must include an emergency release

• Must include a keyed cylinder lock

• Must meet NFPA 80 regulations

All commercial panic bars must meet the safety standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in their NFPA 80 document. This document covers the requirements for doors, doorways, and hardware to ensure the safety of the building’s occupants. Commercial panic bars must be designed to release the door from the locked position when pressure is applied from the inside, while at the same time ensuring the door remains locked from the outside. Commercial panic bars must also include an alarm system that sounds when the door is opened in case of an emergency.

• Must be UL listed
  UL Listing is an important requirement for commercial panic bars. This is a rating that demonstrates that the product has been adequately tested and meets certain safety standards. Specifically, commercial panic bars must be certified by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) to be UL 10C compliant, UL 305 compliant, or ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 compliant. This certification is important for ensuring that commercial panic bars meet fire safety codes, are secure, and are reliable in emergency situations. Failure to meet these requirements could result in the commercial panic bars being unable to adequately protect in the event of an emergency.

• Must include an emergency release
  The third requirement to consider when purchasing commercial panic bars is that they must include an emergency release. This is a feature that allows the door to be pushed open from the outside in case of an emergency. The emergency release should be easily accessible and clearly marked. It should also be designed in a way that prevents it from being accidentally triggered by passersby. Additionally, the emergency release should be able to withstand stress from repeated use and be durable enough to withstand outdoor elements.

• Must include a keyed cylinder lock

In order for a commercial panic bar to meet our requirements, it must include a keyed cylinder lock. This lock should be able to be easily opened with a single key from the exterior side of the door, while still preventing unauthorized entry from the inside. The lock should also be able to be re-keyed in the event that the key is lost or stolen. It is important that the cylinder lock is made of durable material to ensure it can withstand the test of time. Finally, the lock should be able to be easily removed for repair or replacement if necessary.

Commercial panic bars are a necessary security measure for many businesses. Not only do they meet the safety requirements for multiple codes and regulations, but they also provide a safe and secure way for employees and customers to exit a building in an emergency situation.
