Avoid Egress Failures Before They Become Emergencies

Panic Bar Repair: Signs Your Exit Device Needs Service

Small symptoms often appear before total failure. Catching those signs early can prevent emergency calls, failed inspections, and unsafe exits.

Warning Signs to Watch

  • Push bar movement feels sticky, uneven, or delayed.
  • Latch does not fully retract or fails to relatch after closing.
  • Door alignment drift creates friction at strikes and rods.
  • Dogging behavior changes unexpectedly between shifts.
  • Emergency exit door repair calls increase on the same opening.
