Storefront Door Exit Device Overview
A storefront door exit device, also known as a narrow stile rim exit device, is a specialized type of panic hardware designed for use on aluminum frame full glass doors or narrow stile aluminum doors commonly found in commercial storefronts. These devices are engineered to provide safe and quick egress while maintaining the sleek, modern aesthetic of storefront entrances. Storefront exit devices are designed to meet building code requirements for emergency egress while offering flexibility in terms of exterior access control and security integration. These devices play a crucial role in balancing safety, functionality, and visual appeal in commercial entrance systems.
Features of Storefront Door Exit Devices
- Slim profile to accommodate narrow door stiles, typically 2 inches wide or less
- Low-profile touchpad or crossbar that projects minimally from the door surface
- Durable construction, often using aluminum or stainless steel components
- Available in various finishes to match storefront aesthetics
- Compatibility with electric latch retraction and access control systems
- UL listed for panic exit hardware applications
Storefront Exit Device Operation
Storefront door exit devices operate on a simple yet effective mechanism designed for quick and easy egress. When pressure is applied to the touchpad or crossbar, it activates an internal linkage that retracts the latch bolt, allowing the door to open. The latch bolt, typically located at the end of the device, disengages from the strike mounted on the door frame.
Key components of a storefront exit device’s operation include:
- Touchpad or crossbar: The slim, horizontal component users push to exit
- Internal mechanism: Connects the touchpad to the latch, often using a rotating cam design for smooth operation
- Latch bolt: Retracts when activated, usually featuring a deadlocking design for security
- Strike: Mounted on the frame, receives the latch bolt when the door is closed
These devices are engineered to be fail-safe, ensuring occupants can always exit quickly during emergencies, even if the door is locked from the outside. Many storefront exit devices also incorporate options for electric latch retraction, allowing for integration with access control systems while maintaining their primary function of providing safe egress.
Storefront Exit Device Installation
Storefront door exit device installation requires precision and attention to detail to ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety standards.
The process typically involves the following steps:
- Measure and mark the door for device placement, ensuring the push bar is at the appropriate height (usually 36-44 inches from the floor)
- Prepare the door by drilling necessary holes for mounting screws and the latch bolt
- Install the strike on the door frame, aligning it with the latch bolt location
- Mount the exit device body to the door using the provided mounting plate and screws
- Attach the push bar or touchpad to the device body
- Install any exterior trim or cylinder, if applicable
- Test the device for smooth operation and proper latching
For narrow stile doors, special care must be taken to avoid interfering with the glass or compromising the door’s structural integrity. Many manufacturers provide templates and detailed instructions to simplify the installation process. It’s crucial to follow these guidelines precisely to ensure the device meets UL standards and local building codes for emergency egress.
