Bay Area Lock And Key is your local specialist for Panic Bar Installation in Gilroy. From the first call to the final test, you get a licensed professional, non-destructive methods where possible, and pricing you approve up front — no surprises.
Panic bars (exit devices) let people leave quickly in an emergency with a simple push while keeping the door secured from outside — and they're required by code on many commercial and assembly exits. We install, replace and repair panic hardware, push bars, crash bars and vertical-rod exit devices so your exits are safe, smooth and compliant.

Whether it's one door or a building full of exits, we keep them working the way inspectors expect.
