About the service
Professional Panic Bar Installation in Tarzana
Most of the panic bar calls we get in Tarzana come from the Ventura Boulevard side of town, where a storefront, a medical suite, or a small office leases space and the fire inspector walks the exit before anyone opens. If your rear door swings into an alley or your front glass door sees real foot traffic, code wants a single push to get people out, and a knob or a thumb-turn won't pass.
We work the south Valley between Reseda and Encino, so we know the building stock here: older strip-mall units off the boulevard, newer office buildouts, and converted houses turned into clinics. The fix depends on the door you actually have, not a catalog. Locksmith HQ 24/7 measures, recommends what the inspector will accept, and installs it the same week. Call (818) 398-9391.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Tarzana
When we arrive we look at the door before we quote anything. Hollow metal, aluminum storefront, and wood all take different hardware, and a fire-rated opening needs a fire-rated, dogging-disabled device, which is a different bar than a standard exit on a back stockroom door. We check the frame, the strike, the closer, and whether the door is part of a rated assembly, because the wrong device fails the next inspection just as fast as the knob you have now.
Then we install. Most single doors take an hour or two; double doors, vertical-rod setups, or a unit that also needs an alarm kit or outside trim with a keyed lock run longer. We test the push, the latch, and the closer so it shuts and locks on its own. If you're under a deadline from an inspector, tell us when you call (818) 398-9391 and we'll schedule around it.

Common questions
FAQ
Is a panic bar actually required by code for my Tarzana space?
It depends on occupancy and how many people the room is rated for, not the city. Assembly and many retail or medical spaces with public traffic need panic hardware on the egress door; a small private office often does not. The Los Angeles inspector who flagged you is the final word. Tell us your use and occupant load when you call and we'll match the right device, or come measure if you're not sure.
What's the difference between a fire-rated bar and a standard one?
A standard exit device just gives you a single-push exit. A fire-rated device adds a latch that stays engaged and removes the dogging feature that holds the bar down, so the door can't be propped and will stay latched in a fire. If your door is part of a rated wall assembly, it legally needs the fire-rated version. We check the door's rating before we quote so you don't fail re-inspection.
Can the panic bar set off an alarm if someone uses that exit?
Yes. We can fit an alarmed exit device or add a delayed-egress or local alarm kit, which is common on a rear or side door you don't want customers slipping out of near the alley. The bar still opens with one push for safety; it just sounds when used. Note that delayed egress has its own code conditions, so we'll confirm what's allowed for your occupancy.
Will a panic bar fit the door we already have?
Usually, but it depends on the door type. Aluminum storefront glass doors common along Ventura Boulevard take a narrow-stile device; hollow metal and wood doors take wider rim or vertical-rod hardware. Double doors and doors with existing closers need the parts coordinated so everything latches. We measure on site before ordering so the device fits your actual frame instead of forcing the wrong size.
