We repaired a malfunctioning panic bar at an office building in Englewood, NJ, after the local fire department advised the customer that the exit hardware needed attention.
Since the door was part of the building’s emergency exit system, the customer contacted American Star Locksmith to have the problem addressed quickly.

We arrived the same day and inspected the panic bar assembly, including its latch and internal components. We also checked the door’s alignment and how the device engaged with the frame to determine which repairs and adjustments were needed.
Commercial Exit Door Inspection and Repair
The photo shows a glass door with a metal frame and a horizontal panic bar mounted across the inside. The glass also carries automatic-door and accessibility activation signs. Our repair focused on the exit hardware and its operation.
After making the necessary repairs and adjustments, we tested the door repeatedly. Pressing the bar released the door smoothly with normal pressure, and the latch engaged correctly when the door closed. These checks confirmed that the repaired device operated consistently through repeated use.
The completed work restored proper panic bar operation and resolved the issue reported to the customer.
