Door Push Bar Panic Exit Device 31 in Stainless Steel - Secure Exit

In this review of the Door Push Bar Panic Exit Device the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty panic bar suited to high-traffic commercial doors where reliable, one-way egress and corrosion resistance matter most. The reviewer found the 304 stainless steel construction and fire-resistant design gave clear confidence for emergency routes, and the included exterior lever with three keys makes after-hours security straightforward. Installation is straightforward thanks to pre-drilled parts and detailed instructions, so facilities managers and DIY installers can fit this on 30' to 36' wood or metal doors without trial and error.

Key Features

• 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Thickened metal provides rust and corrosion resistance for long life in busy public areas.
• Emergency Push Bar Operation: The bar allows quick, intuitive egress from the inside using a hand or body part for safe evacuation.
• Exterior Lever with Keys: Outside access is secured with a keyed lever and three supplied keys to prevent unauthorized entry.
• Dogging Quick-Open Design: You can set the device to a constant open mode for high-volume traffic or drills without disabling security when closed.
• Pre-Drilled and Accessorized: The package includes all mounting hardware and clear instructions to simplify fitting on compatible doors.
• Fire and Heat Resistance: Materials are chosen to perform reliably in emergency conditions where heat resistance is required.

Who It's For

This panic exit device is aimed at facility managers, contractors, and building owners who need a sturdy, reliable exit device for commercial settings such as shopping centers, hospitals, schools, and offices. It is a good fit where doors are 30' to 36' wide and built of metal or wood, and where a keyed exterior lever is preferred for controlled access.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of glass doors or nonstandard frames, since the unit is not compatible with glass doors. If an electronic access control system is required, this mechanical push bar will not replace an electrified lock without additional components.
