Push bars live a double life — life-safety equipment in the worst minute of your building's history, and a hard-working everyday latch the rest of the year. Eagle Locksmith Virginia Beach installs, repairs and adjusts exit devices for shops, restaurants, offices, schools and churches across Hampton Roads and Richmond.
Rim, mortise and vertical-rod devices; sticking bars, missed latches and trim that stopped working — we restore the one-push opening your exits are required to give, with the door latching positively behind it.
Installation
New exit devices supplied and fitted to wood, metal and storefront doors — singles, pairs with vertical rods, and alarmed devices where you need to know a door's been used. Exterior lever or pull trim turns the exit into a proper entrance too, keyed into your system.
- Rim, mortise and vertical-rod devices
- Single doors and pairs
- Alarmed exit devices available
- Exterior trim fitted and keyed
Repair and Adjustment
Most exit-device complaints are wear and drift: bars that stick, latches a shoulder-width off, dogging that no longer holds. We replace worn mechanisms, realign strikes, restore smooth one-push action, and set the hold-open correctly — or remove it where a fire door forbids it.
- Sticking bars and missed latches repaired
- Strike alignment and dogging adjustment
- Worn mechanisms and trim replaced
Exits That Stay Exits
A chained, propped or deadlocked exit is among the most serious findings an inspector can write — and a real danger in a fire. We flag any door whose hardware defeats its exit function and put it right with rated hardware, honestly and without drama.
- Fire-exit devices (no dogging) for rated doors
- Unsafe arrangements identified and corrected
- Installations matched to the door's listing
