What is a Crash Bar?

Crash bar doors are doors that feature Panic bars. These bars allow individuals to exit buildings as quickly as possible. Panic bars can be placed on inner-office doors as well as on doors exiting the building. Panic bars allow for extremely easy door unlocking from the inside while allowing the door to remain securely locked from the outside. Crash bars are sometimes paired with alarm systems that sound in the event that they are used. This alerts the rest of the building inhabitants that there is danger and that the premises should be vacated as soon as possible.  In other situations, panic alarm systems can be paired with the panic push bar that alerts local firefighters and police to danger so that they know to arrive as soon as possible. When paired with an automatic alarm system, the panic door will always have a clearly labeled signposted, letting everyone know that the alarm will sound if the door is opened.

Why Your Office Needs a Panic Door

Panic bars are a type of fire exit hardware. The main reason why so many of our clients call upon our panic bar installation services is due to the fact that crash bar installation is required by the National Fire Protection Association NFPA. The regulations and requirements of panic bar installations differ drastically from building to building and depend on several factors. The general rule with panic bar installation requirements is that if the door has a lock or latch with a pull or push feature, it does, in fact, need a crash bar. Hazardous work environments require that panic push bars be installed on them.

Examples of precarious spaces include:

  • Highly electrically charged rooms where equipment is used with more than 600 volts or where the equipment uses less than 600 volts but uses more than 800 amps.
  • Large refrigeration rooms
  • Spaces with an incinerator, furnace, or boiler room.

There are quite a lot of different things that you would have to take into account and installing door push bars is just the first step towards ensuring that your personnel is properly protected. This is definitely something particularly beneficial and it needs to be taken into serious consideration. It is your responsibility and, in a lot of states, legal obligation, to make sure that you have put the respective protocols in place and that you are following what the law has set forth for situations of the kind.
