520 Series Dual Door Warehouse Panic Exit Bar

This is a stainless steel, dual door, push type panic exit crash bar with vertical rods.

The 520 Series of panic exit bars is durable and reliable, and gives the customer the opportunity to turn a dual door setup into an emergency exit. This panic bar comes with a 1/2" (13mm) latch bolt, and a 5/8" (16mm) deadlocking bolt to create a secure connection between the door and exit device, ensuring that the panic bar will function properly for use after use. The main feature of this model, however, is that is designed for use on double leaf doors. Specifically, the vertical bars allow this model to be used on dual doors that have no column between the doors to which the bar can latch, which is perfect for many warehouses since the dual doors often allow larger loads through the entryway. The 520 model should be combined with a 500 model.

The 520 Series gives the consumer choices in appearance, as it is available with a painted (520-P) or stainless steel (520-S) finish.

*Dogging - a feature that locks the bar in a depressed position so that the door can be opened from either side, and eliminates the necessity of engaging the internal mechanisms. Allen Key dogging is engaged with an allen wrench, while knob dogging is engaged by a knob built into the bar.
*Semi-length - the push/press part of the bar only extends for part of the full length of the bar.
*Full-length - the push/press part of the bar is the full length of the bar.
*ANSI/BHMA Grade Standards - the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to determine criteria for the performance and safety of certain products, such as panic exit devices.
*Mag Lock - an electromagnetic locking device.
*Strike - the component of the panic bar that goes on the door jamb; the locking mechanism engages this part to shut the door.
*Single Door Application - the bar is designed for a single door set up; however, most bars are compatible with the appropriate dual door model so that one door will have a panic exit bar with vertical rods, and the other will be a panic exit bar for single door applications.
