Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking

Specialized Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking Services

A malfunctioning panic bar or fire exit device poses a critical safety risk and a potential code violation. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers expert Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking services to address jammed or non-responsive egress hardware. Our technicians diagnose failures within the push bar mechanism or vertical rod assembly, releasing the latch to restore immediate, safe evacuation capabilities to your facility.

Why Trust Our Safety Specialists

Maintaining functional emergency exits is a legal and safety imperative that demands precise mechanical intervention. We prioritize strict adherence to life safety codes and hardware reliability. Select our team for the following technical advantages:

Life Safety Compliance: We ensure every Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking procedure respects local fire codes, verifying that the door unlatches with a single motion and swings freely for safe evacuation.
Specialized Tooling: We utilize specific tools to manipulate the internal latch retraction mechanism or “dogging” assembly, allowing us to release jammed panic bars without applying destructive force to the expensive hardware.
Hardware Expertise: Our team is proficient with complex vertical rod systems and mortise exit devices from major brands like Von Duprin and Adams Rite, ensuring we understand the specific mechanics of your unit.
Door Alignment: We inspect the alignment of the door and strike to ensure the latch bolt does not bind against the frame, correcting the root cause of the jam to prevent recurrence.
Operational Verification: After unlocking, we perform rigorous testing to confirm the bar retracts the latch smoothly and the door re-latches securely upon closing, restoring full security and safety immediately.

FAQ'S

Definitive Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking Solutions

A blocked or malfunctioning egress route constitutes a severe code violation and safety hazard. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers specialized Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking services to resolve jammed panic hardware immediately. Our technicians utilize precise manipulation tools to release bound latch mechanisms or vertical rods, ensuring your fire exits open freely and comply with all life safety regulations.

1. Can you unlock a panic bar that is stuck locked?

Yes. We diagnose the internal linkage to determine if the issue is a seized ‘dogging’ mechanism or a broken spring. We utilize specialized tools to manually retract the latch bolt, allowing the door to open without damaging the expensive exit device.

2. Do you work on vertical rod exit devices?

Yes. We specialize in unlocking Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) and Concealed Vertical Rod (CVR) systems. Even if the internal rods have detached or the bottom latch is jammed against the floor strike, we can manipulate the assembly to release the door.

3. Will unlocking the door trigger the alarm?

If the door is equipped with a localized alarm or delayed egress system, opening it may trigger the siren. Our technicians are trained to identify these systems and can disable the power source or reset the alarm circuit to silence the unit during the unlocking process.

4. Can you open the door from the outside?

Yes. Most commercial exit doors feature exterior trim (a lever or pull handle) with a cylinder. We can pick this cylinder or bypass the trim mechanism to perform the Emergency Exit Lock Unlocking from the exterior, granting access to the building.

5. Is this service compliant with fire codes?

Yes. Our primary objective is to restore the door to a fully functional state where it opens with a single motion. We ensure that after unlocking, the hardware meets NFPA 101 Life Safety standards for emergency egress.

6. What if the door frame is warped?

Sometimes the lock is not broken, but the door is bound by thermal expansion or frame shifting. We use non-destructive wedging techniques to relieve the pressure on the latch, allowing the mechanism to retract and the door to swing open.

Locked myself out of the house on a weekend. The locksmith arrived and opened the door without damaging the lock or the frame. It was a relief to have such professional help available when I needed it.

We upgraded our security locks recently. The advice we received was practical and honest. The installation was neat, and the locksmith cleaned up afterwards. It is hard to find such reliable workmanship these days.
