If people need to get out in a hurry, the door has to open with a simple push. That is the job of an exit device, often called a panic bar. In Houston, many occupancies need this hardware to pass inspections and to protect staff and guests during an emergency. Putting it off can lead to failed fire inspections, fines, door damage, or worse, a door that sticks when you need it most. We support Houston businesses that need reliable exits.
If yes, it is time to talk with a local pro. We handle Exit Device Installation for retail, restaurants, warehouses, schools, churches, offices, clinics, and more across Houston.
An exit device is a door lock that opens from the inside with a push bar. On the outside, you can leave it blank or add a keyed handle. The inside bar must work with one hand and without tight grasping. It should be obvious, quick to use, and mounted at the correct height. In short, no struggling and no confusion.
That simple push saves time during a fire alarm, severe weather, smoke, or a crowd surge. Good hardware also reduces door abuse. Staff stop kicking the door, pulling on bolts, or propping it open with a brick.
Scorpion Locksmith offers same day panic bar installation on many rim and mortise units. Our techs arrive with stocked vans, measure, fit, and test your device. We handle single doors, pairs of doors, aluminum glass storefronts, steel and wood doors, and hollow metal frames.

Waiting on exit hardware can cost more later. Here are common signs we see across Houston neighborhoods from the Heights to Gulfton and from Downtown to Clear Lake.
If you are not sure, snap a few photos and text or email them to us. We will confirm what you have and what will fit.
Every building is different. We help you pick the right setup so your door opens cleanly and passes inspection.
This is the most common style. A rim panic bar mounts on the inside of the door with a latch that strikes a keeper on the frame. It is reliable, fast to install, and works well on single doors and pairs with a removable mullion. Great for many aluminum storefronts along Westheimer, neighborhood shops in Montrose, or service doors in Midtown.
A mortise unit has a lock case set inside the door with the push bar operating that case. It is strong and clean looking. You see it on heavy doors in offices and schools, or anywhere you want a solid latch and smooth action.
Used on double doors where you do not want a mullion in the middle. Top and bottom rods secure the door to the frame and floor or just the top. Good for churches, event halls near NRG Park, and warehouse pairs in the East End.
Similar to surface rods but hidden inside the door. It looks cleaner and reduces snags in high traffic spaces like clinics near the Texas Medical Center or busy retail along the Galleria corridor.
Aluminum glass doors have slim stiles. They need hardware built for that small profile. We carry narrow stile panic bars and Adams Rite style parts that fit most Houston storefronts without hacking up the door.
We coordinate with your alarm or access control vendor so egress stays free and code compliant.
Our goal is simple. Make your door open easily and meet local code. We keep it practical and follow what inspectors look for across Houston.
City of Houston and Harris County inspectors will check the hardware type, mounting, and that nothing blocks the path. They also look for the right labels on fire doors. Need delayed egress for theft control or memory care? That calls for specific hardware and permits. We can guide you and coordinate with the authority having jurisdiction.
Not sure if your space needs panic hardware? Buildings used for assembly, education, care, and retail often require it when the occupant load reaches a certain point. We can help you measure, count exits, and select the correct device. For accessibility considerations see ADA standards.
If you need it today, say so. We stock common rim and mortise panic bars and many storefront kits. If the door is standard, we can often complete Exit Device Installation the same day. For glass storefronts, narrow stile kits and Adams Rite parts are usually on the truck.
Running a kitchen near Washington Ave or a shop in the Heights? You cannot shut down for long. We plan installs around your slow times. Early mornings, late evenings, and weekends are available. We also offer 24 7 emergency service for broken panic bars that will not latch or doors that will not open.
Call (281) 623-1517 and tell us your window. We make it work.
Not every door needs new hardware. We can repair many issues.
We will be straight with you. If a repair will not hold up, we recommend replacement. If a simple adjustment solves it, we do that and save you money. Ask about commercial lock repair or new installation when needed.
We install and service a wide range of hardware common in Houston.
We carry compatible parts, strikes, mullions, electric power supplies, battery alarms, and trim. Have older hardware? Send a photo. We can often match it or offer a clean swap that reuses holes to keep your door looking neat.
Safety first, then security. You can add control on the exterior while keeping an easy push to exit.
We wire and set up the inside so exit is free every time. We also set door closers and strikes to avoid bounce back that can jam the latch. Explore integrated access control options.
From taco shops on Airline Drive to bars in Midtown, back doors get a workout. Deliveries, trash runs, and heat can warp doors. We install heavy duty rim devices with alarm options to curb back door losses. We set closer speed so the door latches without slamming trays out of hands.
Glass storefronts in Alief, Bellaire, and along Westheimer often need narrow stile panic bars. We fit hardware that looks clean, works with your door rails, and meets ADA height requirements. We can add a removable mullion for pairs of doors so you can move large merchandise.
Quiet, clean operation matters near the Galleria and the Texas Medical Center. Mortise or concealed rod units keep a sleek look while giving smooth exit. Electrified options tie into your access control so staff can badge in but anyone inside can exit with a push.
In the East End, near the Port, or up by Spring and Katy, tough hardware matters. We install rim or surface rod devices that stand up to heavy use and dust. Alarmed exit bars help with loss prevention. We also add kick plates and guards to protect your investment.
Clear egress and easy use are key. We place bars at the correct height and choose options that work for classrooms, worship halls, and gyms. If you need delayed egress, we can help you plan permits and hardware that your AHJ will accept.
Heat and humidity can swell doors and frames. Storms can make doors rust or bend. We account for these local issues by:
A little planning keeps your panic bars smooth year round.
Exit devices do not need much, but a small effort pays off.
We offer service visits for property managers and franchises across Greater Houston. This keeps doors consistent across locations and avoids last-minute fire inspection stress.

Every door is different. Pricing depends on the type of device, door material, fire rating, trim, electrification, and any repair work needed. You will always get a firm quote before work starts.

Fire-rated doors need panic hardware built for that use. We match labels so your door keeps its rating. We also keep any surface cutting within allowed limits and use the correct fasteners. Where a fire door meets a stairwell or corridor, we pay special attention to self-closing and latching so smoke and fire barriers work as intended.
Older properties in areas like the Heights, Eastwood, or Third Ward often have mixed hardware. We help bring them up to current standards without tearing up frames.
We keep the look neat while making the exit safe.
If your door will not open from inside, that is an emergency. Our 24 7 team can:
