Panic Bar Installation in Palo Alto should be simple: one call, a fast arrival, and a job done properly. That is how Bay Area Lock And Key works every day, serving Palo Alto homes, businesses and drivers with mobile, on-site service.
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.
Why Palo Alto Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Panic Bar Installation
Palo Alto customers choose us because we combine big-company reliability with local, personal service. Every technician is licensed, bonded and insured, arrives in a marked, fully-stocked van, and treats your property with care. We quote before we work, we finish in one visit whenever we can, and we stand behind everything we do.
Faulty exit hardware is both a safety hazard and a liability. We service devices that stick, fail to latch, or won't depress properly, align them with the frame, and pair them with the right trim, closers and electric strikes when access control is involved. Whether it's one door or a building full of exits, we keep them working the way inspectors expect.

A little prevention goes a long way. Once we have handled the immediate need, we are glad to point out simple steps that reduce the odds of a repeat — a spare key kept somewhere safe, a small hardware upgrade on a vulnerable door, or a quick adjustment that keeps a lock operating smoothly.
