The panic bar, or emergency bar, was first invented in the early 20th century to answer the call for a mechanism that provides security against intruders for those located within a building while preventing people from being trapped inside in the event of a fire. Panic bars are now a required safety feature for most commercial buildings.
 The addition of a panic/emergency bar to the doors of your home and business is an excellent safety feature due to the additional security that they provide in addition to the fact that they will bypass lock systems allowing for immediate egress in the event of emergency. In fact, most doors that you may find that are labeled as “Fire Door” are simply doors with a panic bar installed. Most doors with a panic bar will have an alarm built in so that when the door is opened, an alarm is triggered and will automatically open in the event of fire. In terms of security against break-ins, most panic bars offer resistance of well over 2,000 pounds of force preventing intruders from making access.
