Panic Bars & Emergency Exit Devices

Life-safety, security, and fire-code compliance for your business.

A panic device (“crash bar”) is a door-locking assembly released by simply pressing a horizontal bar — designed so a crowd can exit quickly in an emergency without keys or special knowledge. Guardian Angel Security Group provides certified consultation, installation, and service.

When Is a Panic Bar Required?

Occupancy type — assembly spaces like theaters, restaurants, bars, and schools almost always require them.
Occupant load — 50+ people typically triggers the requirement. Panic devices install on out-swinging doors and must open freely under pressure.

Exit Alarms

Where locking a door violates fire code but leaving it unsecured breaches security, exit alarms sound the moment the door opens — retail fire exits, restaurant back doors, warehouse shipping doors — while keeping egress free. Available with or without integrated locking.
