An egress door sits on the emergency path out of a building, so the law holds it to a stricter standard. Most egress door calls sound alike: the panic bar needs two hands, the door drags, or it swings shut and never latches. Behind those symptoms we find a worn rim exit device, sagging ball-bearing hinges, or a closer leaking hydraulic fluid. Each is a repair, and each turns a code-compliant exit door into a violation.
King Locksmith And Doors Inc. works to one rule: an emergency exit door opens in a single motion, without a key, releases under 15 pounds of force, and latches by itself. When a hollow metal door or frame is rusted through, warped out of square, or an unlabeled slab sits in a fire-rated opening, no hardware fixes that, so we quote a replacement in writing.
From one panic bar to a complete steel egress door system, we handle exit door work region-wide in offices, storefronts, restaurants and government facilities. Send the symptom, get a quote.
Every egress door we touch gets measured against the checklist a fire marshal carries: swing in the direction of travel, a 32-inch minimum clear width, UL 305 listed panic hardware anyone can operate, and a latch that catches whenever the closer shuts the door.
Our technicians know IBC Chapter 10 and NFPA 101 at least as well as any inspector.
Exit device repairs get a flat quote once our technician diagnoses the door, and the number covers parts, labor and return trips for special-order hardware.
Replacement estimates are always free and itemize the door, frame, hardware and fire alarm tie-in so you can phase the work. No hidden fees; King Locksmiths backs every job with a parts and labor warranty.

A King Locksmith And Doors Inc. technician checks swing direction, closer speed, latch engagement and plumb, then quotes in writing.
We recommend repair or replacement with reasons, then lay out exit device and door unit options at each price point.
We repair on the first visit when parts allow, or hang, shim and anchor the new door and frame square.
We cycle the door, time the closer, confirm release and latch, check smoke seals and weatherstripping, then walk you through.
Egress doors are one opening in a building full of them; our technicians service every other door type as well.

No. Panic hardware is required for assembly, educational and high-hazard occupancies above set occupant loads; elsewhere a keyless lever can comply. We confirm it door by door.
Usually, yes. Detex and Von Duprin alarmed exit devices accept a replacement alarm module or battery pack, so we rebuild the existing bar instead of replacing it.
Most hollow metal openings are demoed, hung and hardwared in a day; welded frames in masonry add a morning. King Locksmiths works around your hours; book online.
Yes if the door is rated; positive latching is mandatory. Usually a closer adjustment or strike realignment fixes it that day. Call King Locksmith And Doors Inc.
