Questions buyers ask
How long should a panic bar be?
In the US the bar must cover at least half the door leaf width. In Europe, plan on at least 60% of the leaf. A bar also has to fit between the hinge edge and the lock edge, so check the clear width of the door.
How high should a panic bar be mounted?
864 to 1219 mm (34 to 48 in) above the finished floor in the US under the IBC and NFPA 101, and 900 to 1100 mm in Europe per EN 1125 installation instructions. Some US states set a tighter range, so confirm with the local authority.
What if my door is wider than the standard bars?
Several models are adjustable or made to length. Send the door size and we will confirm a length in writing.
