Panic Bar in East Gwillimbury

Safe Egress for Commercial Spaces

In an emergency, people panic. They push. If a door requires a knob to turn or a lever to pull, lives can be lost in a crush. This is why the Panic Bar (Crash Bar) is mandatory for most commercial exit doors. It releases the latch simply by pushing anywhere on the bar. Installix provides professional panic bar installation and repair services in East Gwillimbury, ensuring your building meets Fire Code and OBC egress requirements while keeping your premises secure from the outside.

Types of Exit Devices

The Solution: Code-Compliant Installation

We install Von Duprin, Sargent, and generic Grade 1 devices. We ensure the bar spans at least half the width of the door and is mounted at the correct height (typically 34"-48" AFF) as per code.

Why Choose Installix?

• Exterior Trims: We install key cylinders or pull handles on the outside so the door can be accessed by staff with a key.
• Dogging: We supply bars with "hex key dogging" which holds the latch retracted during business hours, saving wear and tear on the mechanism.
• Door Prep: We have the jigs and templates to drill steel and aluminum doors accurately for new installations.

Pricing Factors

• Brand: Von Duprin is the gold standard but costs 3x more than generic brands. We offer options for both budgets.
• Exterior Trim: Adding a keyed lever or pull handle on the outside adds cost.
• Double Doors: Vertical rod systems take significantly longer to install than rim devices.
