Many building owners and facility managers know how important panic bars are for emergency exits, but fewer understand the benefits of do***ng a panic bar during normal building operation.
Do***ng keeps the push bar depressed and the latch retracted, allowing people to pass through the door without activating the panic device each time. This can improve traffic flow, reduce hardware wear, and make access more convenient in busy commercial environments.
Typical applications include schools, hospitals, office buildings, shopping centers, and other high traffic facilities.
The basic steps are straightforward:
1. Open the door.
2. Press the panic bar.
3. Insert the do***ng key.
4. Turn the key to hold the latch in the retracted position.
It is important to remember that mechanical do***ng is generally not permitted on fire rated exit devices installed on fire doors.
