We drive out to Smyrna from Georgetown, over in Kent County, and every panic bars job we take in Smyrna is finished at the address rather than anywhere else.
Smyrna has a mix of older brick downtown buildings and modern commercial strips along U.S. Route 13, and panic bars are a common requirement on both building types to meet safety standards and customer flow needs. In Smyrna we see panic bars on small-town storefronts, churches, community centers and newer retail plazas, and they must be fitted to doors that face busy roads, side streets, or the Duck Creek corridor in Kent County. Proper installation accounts for the door material, mounting surface and any existing hardware so the bar operates reliably for everyday use and emergency egress.
Yes. In Smyrna, panic bars should meet local fire and building code requirements for emergency egress. We install hardware that complies with applicable codes and fits the door type in question. You should check with your local code official if you need a plan review or permit before work starts; we can coordinate on the hardware specifications.
We can fit panic bars to many older downtown doors in Smyrna, including brick commercial entrances and wood or metal door assemblies. Installation requires assessing the door frame, threshold, and strike reinforcement. If modifications or additional reinforcement are needed we recommend performing them so the bar functions correctly without stressing the existing door or frame.
Panic bars work well on the newer aluminum and glass doors common in strip malls off U.S. Route 13. We select bars compatible with glass-lite doors and center or edge mullion conditions, and we check compatibility with existing locks and exit hardware. We also address any handicap-accessible threshold or closer requirements when installing.
