Introduction to Exit Device Service

Our Exit Device Service Process

When you contact Colorado Springs Locksmith for exit device service, you receive a systematic, professional approach designed to address your specific needs quickly and effectively. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your current exit device system. Our certified technicians examine the hardware for signs of wear, damage, or malfunction, checking the latch mechanism, touchpad functionality, strike alignment, and panic bar operation.

Following the initial inspection, we provide you with a detailed explanation of any issues discovered and recommend the most cost-effective solutions. For repairs, we utilize manufacturer-approved parts and follow industry best practices to restore full functionality. Installation projects involve careful measurement, proper alignment, and precise installation to ensure the device operates smoothly under all conditions. We also verify that all installations meet current IBC (International Building Code) and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards.

Our service doesn't end when the hardware is installed or repaired. We perform comprehensive testing to simulate emergency conditions, ensuring the exit device releases properly with minimal force. We adjust the strike, check the alignment of all components, and verify that any alarm features function correctly. Finally, we provide operation training to your staff and documentation of all work completed for your maintenance records.

Common Situations Requiring Exit Device Service

Property owners and facility managers typically contact us for exit device service in several recurring scenarios. Failed inspections are among the most common—a fire marshal or building inspector identifies exit devices that don't meet code requirements or aren't functioning properly. These situations often require immediate attention to avoid citations or occupancy restrictions.

New construction and renovations require properly specified and installed exit devices that match the door application, fire rating, and security requirements. Many contractors lack the specialized knowledge needed to select appropriate hardware, resulting in installations that fail inspection or don't perform as expected.

Daily wear and tear eventually affects all exit devices, particularly on high-traffic doors. Mechanical failures manifest as sticky touchpads, latches that don't fully retract, loud squeaking or grinding noises, or bars that require excessive force to operate. These issues compromise both safety and user experience, requiring prompt professional repair.

Security upgrades often involve replacing standard exit devices with electrified models that integrate with access control systems. This allows facilities to maintain free egress while preventing unauthorized entry—essential for schools, hospitals, and other sensitive environments.

Businesses changing locations or expanding frequently need exit device relocation or additional installations. Our team can assess your new space, identify all required exit points, and ensure proper hardware selection and installation.

Maintaining Your Exit Device Investment

Proper maintenance extends the service life of exit devices and ensures reliable operation when emergencies occur. We recommend semi-annual professional inspections for high-traffic applications and annual inspections for standard commercial use. These preventive maintenance visits identify developing problems before they cause failures.

Between professional services, facility staff should perform basic monthly checks: test each exit device to ensure smooth operation, verify that latches fully retract and engage properly, check that any alarm features activate correctly, and inspect for visible damage or loose components. Any abnormalities should prompt immediate professional service.

Keeping exit devices clean and properly lubricated prevents many common failures. However, avoid using petroleum-based products that can attract dirt and gum up mechanisms. Our technicians use manufacturer-recommended lubricants designed specifically for panic hardware.
