Push-to-Exit Hardware Inside, Keyed Access Outside
The door had to serve two different purposes. From the inside, people needed to be able to leave with a push of the bar, without using a key. From the outside, the business wanted to limit entry to people with a key.
Our locksmith mounted the panic bar across the inside of the door and fitted the keyed cylinder on the exterior. We positioned the hardware and aligned the latch with the frame so the two sides could perform their respective functions. The interior bar releases the door with a push, while the exterior cylinder lets authorized staff unlock it with a key.
For this East Orange business, the installation made everyday access straightforward: staff can unlock the door from outside, and anyone leaving can operate the interior bar without having to find a key.
