Alarm Panic Bar: Order Model 314 in 650, 800 or 1000 mm
For an exit door alarm bar, order model 314: a surface-mounted panic bar with a built-in alarm, in 650, 800 or 1000 mm. With the alarm on, pushing the bar sounds it and the door still opens without a key. Add a closer, three hinges and a stop.
The set to order
| Part | What to check | Models |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Alarm panic bar, push side | 650, 800 or 1000 mm, or made to your door. Surface mounted, horizontal. Silver or a custom color. The photographs show a strike, rim cylinder and keys in the box. | 314 |
| 2. Outside lever, pull side | Only if people enter by handle. A lever is listed as an option on 314, so name it on the same order. 027 and 028 are keyed levers for doors 35 to 55 mm thick. Match the bar's finish. | 027, 028 |
| 3. Fixed pull plate, pull side | For a door staff open by key, then pull. Plate 300 × 75 mm with a Ø32 mm cylinder cut-out. Check the cut-out against the boxed cylinder. | 001 |
| 4. Spare rim cylinder | The box already holds one cylinder, so this line is for spares. X2 is brass with 3 keys, for doors up to 90 mm. | X2 |
| 5. Door closer | Shuts and relatches the door after each use. JU-088: 950 mm, 40 to 65 kg. JU-072: 1050 mm, 40 to 65 kg. JU-093: 1050 mm, 45 to 85 kg. | JU-088, JU-072, JU-093 |
| 6. Hinges, 3 per leaf | BL028 is 4 × 3 in, 2.5 mm thick. SSH012 comes in five sizes. The door opens outward, so the pins face out: ask for non-removable pins. | BL028, SSH012 |
| 7. Door stop | Keeps an outside lever off the wall when the door swings fully open. DS01 projects 96 mm from the wall. | DS01 |
| 8. Alarm warning sign | Not in this catalogue. The box label covers push to exit only. Confirm any alarm wording locally. |
What happens at the door
The 314 carries a speaker grille and a key switch on the bar, and the alarm runs only when it is switched on. That gives each person at the door a known result, which is what you are buying.
No key is ever needed to leave. The key switch controls the sound, not the way out. If the door must also keep people out, that job belongs to the latch and the outside trim.
| Who | What they do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Person leaving, alarm on | Pushes the bar | Alarm sounds, door opens |
| Person leaving, alarm off | Pushes the bar | Door opens, no sound |
| Staff outside | Uses the key in the outside cylinder | Door opens from outside |
| Visitor outside, no key | Has nothing to operate | Door stays latched |
What the photographs show in the box
Count these against the delivery before the installer starts. The 314 gallery also holds a size drawing with each dimension for all three lengths.
- The bar with its head and rim latch.
- A stainless strike for the frame.
- A gray end bracket and a small angle bracket.
- A brass rim cylinder with a ring, a back plate and two long screws.
- Three silver keys for the cylinder.
- Two small black-head keys for the key switch.
- A bag of screws.
- A red and green label reading Emergency Only Push to Exit.
- An instruction sheet.
Pick the length from the leaf
The 314 length is the whole device, head included, so it has to sit inside the leaf width. Order the longest listed length that fits. Each length below clears the US and the European minimum for that leaf. A customized length fills the gaps, confirmed against your drawing.
| Leaf width | Minimum bar, US (50%) | Minimum bar, Europe (60%) | 314 length to order |
|---|---|---|---|
| 800 mm | 400 mm | 480 mm | 650 mm |
| 900 mm | 450 mm | 540 mm | 800 mm |
| 1000 mm | 500 mm | 600 mm | 800 mm |
| 1100 mm | 550 mm | 660 mm | 1000 mm |
| 1200 mm | 600 mm | 720 mm | 1000 mm |
314 or a touch bar with no alarm
Choose 314 for a door that should stay shut in daily use, such as a rear exit or a stock room exit, where staff need to know someone used it. Choose 315 for a door people pass through all day, because an alarm that sounds every hour soon gets switched off for good.
| Point | 314 | 315 |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm | Built in | None listed |
| Length | 650, 800 or 1000 mm, customizable | 800 or 1000 mm |
| Outside access | Key from outside, lever optional | Exterior lever can be matched |
| Dogging | Optional | Hex key |
| Material | Aluminum alloy body, iron bar; SS304 optional | Painted iron |
| Listed for | Exit, steel and public access doors | Commercial emergency exit doors |
What goes wrong on site
- Staff use the door as a shortcut and the alarm sounds all day. Give them another route or the switch key.
- The closer is too weak, the door stays ajar and the latch never engages. Size the closer to the door.
- Someone adds a bolt, chain or padlock to stop the noise. Any added lock blocks the exit and must come off.
- The dogging option reaches a fire door. A fire door must latch every time, so keep a dogging bar off it.
- The bar is fitted to an inward-opening door. An exit door swings out, and the bar sits on the inside face.
- The cylinder screws are too short for a thick door. Send the door thickness with the order.
What to confirm before you order
We list the alarm function, not its electrical detail. Ask us these points if your project specifies them, and you will have the answer in writing before the order is placed.
- How the alarm is powered and how often that needs changing.
- Sound level, if your specification sets one.
- How the alarm resets after it has sounded.
- Whether it can report to a monitored panel. Plan on a stand-alone alarm unless we confirm otherwise.
- Local rules on alarmed exits. Confirm them with the local authority.
What to send with the order
- Leaf width, height and thickness in mm.
- Door material.
- Hinge side, seen from the pull side.
- Length: 650, 800, 1000 mm or custom.
- Color.
- Outside access: key only, lever or none.
- Dogging: yes or no, and whether the door is a fire door.
Questions buyers ask
Does an alarm panic bar stop people leaving?
No. With the alarm on, pushing the bar sounds the alarm and the door opens. Nobody needs a key to leave through the door.
How do staff switch the alarm off?
The 314 has a key switch on the bar, and the photographs show two small keys for it in the box. Give those keys to the people who manage the door.
Is this the same as a delayed egress lock?
No. A delayed egress lock holds the door for a set time and comes under its own rules in the IBC and NFPA 101. The 314 sounds an alarm and does not delay the door. We do not list delayed egress hardware.
Which length fits a 900 mm door?
Order the 800 mm length. It fits inside the leaf and clears both the US minimum of 450 mm and the European minimum of 540 mm.
Can a 314 go on a fire door?
Keep the dogging option off any fire door, because that door must latch every time. Stahlock products carry no published fire certification, so the door's own certificate decides what can be fitted.
Can I add an outside lever later?
Plan it at the start. The lever is listed as an option on the 314, and it needs holes through the door, so tell us when you order the bar.
