Panic Bars & Exit Devices in Saginaw, Michigan

Code-Compliant Egress Solutions for Commercial & Public Buildings

Panic bars and exit devices are essential safety components in many commercial and public buildings. Designed to allow fast, intuitive egress during an emergency, these devices help protect occupants while ensuring buildings meet strict life-safety codes. In Saginaw facilities that serve the public or experience high occupancy levels, properly installed and maintained exit devices are not optional—they’re critical.

FBH Architectural Security provides panic bar and exit device installation, repair, and replacement in Saginaw, supporting commercial, institutional, and industrial properties. With more than 70 years of experience, our team understands how to specify and install exit hardware that functions reliably under real-world conditions.

Where Panic Bars & Exit Devices Are Required

Exit devices are commonly used in buildings where large numbers of people may need to exit quickly and safely. In Saginaw, these applications often include:

• Schools and educational facilities
• Healthcare and medical buildings
• Government and municipal properties
• Industrial and manufacturing facilities
• Retail spaces and assembly areas
• Apartment complexes and multi-tenant buildings

Each setting has unique requirements based on occupancy type, door location, and code classification.

Types of Exit Devices We Install

FBH installs commercial-grade exit devices designed for durability, safety, and code compliance.

Common configurations include:

• Rim exit devices
• Surface vertical rod exit devices
• Concealed vertical rod exit devices
• Fire-rated exit hardware
• Electrified exit devices for access-controlled doors

Devices are selected based on door type, fire rating, security needs, and traffic volume.

Installation Done the Right Way

Exit devices must be installed precisely to function properly during an emergency. FBH approaches installation with a full understanding of the door system as a whole.

Our process includes:

• Verifying door and frame condition
• Confirming fire-rating and hardware compatibility
• Proper device alignment and fastening
• Ensuring smooth operation and positive latching
• Testing for code-compliant egress performance

Improper installation can cause binding, failed latching, or inspection issues—problems we work to prevent.

Fire-Rated Exit Device Installation

Fire-rated doors require listed exit devices that maintain the integrity of the fire assembly. FBH installs fire-rated panic hardware that supports both life-safety and fire-protection requirements.

We ensure:

• Hardware is listed for the door’s fire rating
• Doors self-close and latch properly
• Modifications do not compromise compliance
• Clearances remain within allowable limits

Repair & Replacement Services

Exit devices experience constant use and wear. FBH provides repair and replacement services for issues such as:

• Devices that stick or fail to retract
• Broken or worn internal components
• Doors that no longer latch securely
• Non-compliant or outdated hardware

When repair is no longer practical, we replace devices with modern, durable solutions designed for long-term reliability.
