PANIC BAR & EXIT HARDWARE SERVICE
Review release and latching as parts of the same system.
Panic bars, often called crash bars, work with latches, strikes, trim, and the door's closing action. We identify the device and assess the reported fault before recommending work. The device type, opening requirements, condition, and available components determine the service options.
-01
Exit device identification
Review visible markings, device layout, and the installed opening before deciding which service or replacement options are appropriate.
-02
Difficult bar operation
Assess a bar or touchpad that sticks, feels loose, or does not operate the release mechanism consistently.
-03
Latch retraction problems
Review the device and connected latching components when operating the bar does not release the affected entrance normally.
-04
Failure to latch
Assess the latch, strike relationship, and closing position when the door shuts but the device does not re-engage reliably.
-05
Exterior trim concerns
Check the installed outside lever, pull, or keyed trim when authorized entry operation differs from the expected function.
-06
Loose or damaged components
Review affected mounting and operating parts to identify wear, damage, and appropriate repair or replacement needs.
-07
Rim and rod-device assessment
Identify the installed configuration and connected locking points before discussing service for a rim or vertical-rod arrangement.
-08
Compatible replacement planning
Compare a replacement against the device type, opening, trim, and existing preparation rather than choosing by appearance alone.
-09
Closing and operation checks
Review affected release, latching, and related closing functions after completing the agreed service on the identified hardware.

EXIT HARDWARE SYMPTOMS
Explain what happens when the bar and door operate.
Tell us whether the bar is difficult to press, the latch stays engaged, or the door fails to secure after closing. Mention any recent impact, changed trim, or closer problem. If an exit will not operate, notify the person responsible for the property and describe that issue when requesting service.
01
The bar or touchpad sticks or feels loose
02
The latch does not release consistently
03
The door closes without latching
04
Outside trim does not operate as intended
05
The device or related hardware is damaged
Include the property location, affected opening, and accessible photos of the device and markings. For the wider range of business lock and entry needs, see our Commercial locksmith services. Service availability and the proposed assessment are discussed when you call.
DEVICE, LATCH & CLOSING ACTION
Identify the fault before changing components.
A closing fault can affect latch engagement, while a damaged device or trim can cause a different operating problem. We assess the relevant components together and explain what the proposed work will address. Tell us if the door slams or stops short of its normal closed position.
OPENING & REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Match the device to the actual entrance.
01
Manufacturer markings and device configuration
02
Door size, handing, and existing preparation
03
Latch and strike or rod arrangement
04
Outside trim and intended entry function
05
Opening labels and specified hardware requirements
Panic hardware and fire exit hardware are not interchangeable by default. Any rating, specified function, and opening requirements must be checked before parts are changed. A similar-looking bar alone does not establish compatibility; we discuss the identified configuration and suitable work before proceeding.
REPAIR & RELATED COMMERCIAL HARDWARE
Separate the device fault from other entrance needs.
01
Identify which functions are affected
02
Assess serviceable parts and compatible replacements
03
Review related closing or strike concerns
04
Agree the work and proposed cost
05
Check the affected operation after service
Where the closer is part of the reported problem, arrange commercial door closer service. Outside keyed hardware may also need attention; our business lock change service covers appropriate replacement planning. Related work is discussed separately before it is added.

I recently had Moshe install a new door lock for me, and I am extremely satisfied with the service. They were prompt, professional, and efficient throughout the entire process. The quality of their workmanship was excellent, and they ensured that the new lock fit perfectly and functioned flawlessly. I highly recommend Moshe for any door lock installation needs. They deserve a solid five-star rating!

Not every lock or door problem fits a standard category. These answers cover the questions that come up most often before service.
Find answers about commercial hardware, home locks, french door, multipoint systems, and mobile locksmith service across the Denver metro.
Yes. ML Locksmith provides commercial locksmith services for offices, storefronts, businesses, and managed properties, including rekeying, lock changes, lock installation, lock repair, master key systems, high-security locks, door closers, and panic/exit hardware. We also help with office and business lockouts.
We diagnose, repair, and replace French door locks and multipoint locking hardware, including three-point mechanisms and Hoppe systems. We also service patio and sliding-door locks.
Repair or replacement depends on the mechanism’s condition and compatible parts. When you call, describe the symptoms and any brand markings on the hardware.
Many home locks can be rekeyed when the existing hardware is in good condition, allowing you to change which key works without replacing the entire lock. We also repair and replace residential locks and install compatible smart and keypad locks.
For electronic locks, changing access codes is separate from rekeying a keyed cylinder. Pricing depends on the hardware, work, and location; call to discuss the service and cost before work begins.
We provide mobile locksmith service throughout the Denver metro, including Denver, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Arvada, Broomfield, Lakewood, Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Erie, Federal Heights, Firestone, Fort Lupton, Frederick, Golden, Henderson, Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, Superior, and Wheat Ridge.
