Commercial security products are so important, and having an awareness of what is available to clients is key. Among these products, panic bars, also known as crash bars or exit devices, play a very big and important part as it relates to the safety and security of occupants in commercial buildings. Let's explore panic bars, commercial lock replacement, and when to consider swapping out your locks at work.
Panic Bars: Panic bars are meant to make leaving a property during emergencies easier. These devices can be used on exit doors and allow occupants to exit the building without trampling one another, by pushing on the horizontal bar. In an emergency, you don’t want persons fumbling with a door lock. They are a legal requirement in some commercial buildings.
Commercial Lock Replacement: Over time, the security needs of a commercial space may change due to factors like employee turnover, the loss of keys, or wear and tear on locks. When considering commercial lock replacement, think about the following...
Old or Worn-out Locks: Locks that are showing signs of wear, such as difficulty turning the key or jamming, should be replaced in an effort to maintain security.
Lost or Stolen Keys: If keys are nowhere to be found or were possibly taken, you are going to want to replace the locks to prevent unauthorized access.
Employee Changes: When employees leave or are terminated, it's advisable to change locks to ensure former employees cannot gain entry.
Upgrade to High-Security Locks: If you want to enhance security, consider upgrading to high-security locks that use keyless entry, access control systems, or electronic locks.
Commercial locks come in options for styles, for instance...
Mortise Locks: These are highly secure locks can be utilized in commercial settings due to their durability and resistance to forced entry.
Cylinder Locks: Cylinder locks are versatile and can be easily rekeyed, making them an option to look into for commercial spaces where access needs can change up.
Deadbolt Locks: Deadbolts offer exceptional security and are commonly used in combination with other locks for added protection.
Keyless Entry Locks: These locks use codes or access cards for entry.
