The Sentry Safety 1000UL Listed Panic Door Bar with Steel Strike is a durable rim-style exit device designed to provide safe and reliable emergency egress for commercial, industrial, and public buildings. Featuring a surface-mounted design, this UL-listed panic bar installs easily on steel, wood, composite, and framed glass doors while delivering dependable single-point latching.

Designed exclusively for use with Sentry Safety Handles, this panic bar accommodates both right- and left-hand door configurations by simply rotating the unit during installation. The included steel strike ensures secure latching, while the built-in Allen key dogging allows authorized users to temporarily hold the latch in the open position for unrestricted access. The bar can also be trimmed to fit doors as narrow as 24 inches, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.

• Glass doors with a metal stile (frame) at least 1-1/2" wide, or 4" wide when using an outside handle or cylinder lock.
• Steel, wood, or composite solid-face doors.
• Doors with a minimum width of 25".
• Doors of any width (the panic bar measures 40" and can be field cut to fit).

Trimming the Panic Bar to Size:

The panic bar has a total length of 40-3/4", including the latch. Excluding the latch, the 1000 UL Series measures 40-1/16". The bar does not need to span the full width of the door, provided the door has a flat mounting surface, so it can be installed on doors wider than 40-3/4". If the bar needs to be shortened, it can be easily cut to size. The section of the panic bar beyond the push pad is hollow tubing. Simply cut the tubing to the desired length and reinstall the end cap. The bar can be trimmed down to 24" overall, including the latch, or 23-1/4" when measured without the latch.

Changing from Right- or Left-Hand Mounting:

This panic exit bar has no designated top or bottom. Simply rotate the bar 180° to reverse the latch, allowing it to be mounted on either right-hand or left-hand doors.

Latching and Mounting:

This panic bar is surface mounted and installs on the secure (inside) face of the door. The strike mounts to the door frame behind the closed door, not on the inside edge of the frame where a standard handle latch may have been installed. If the door currently has a handle, it must be removed before installation. Cover plates are available to conceal the holes left by the removed handle, and door jamb brackets are available to cover the original latch location on the frame. Mounting bolts are included. However, depending on the door material, you may choose to use wood screws, self-tapping metal screws, or sex bolts of the same diameter. Sex bolts provide the strongest installation by fastening through both sides of the door, with the male and female components joining inside the door for a secure hold.

Dogging:

This panic bar features Allen key dogging. Dogging allows the latch to remain retracted so the door can be opened freely without operating the push bar. Allen key dogging provides greater security than traditional knob dogging because it requires a tool to engage or disengage the feature. With knob dogging, anyone can simply turn the knob to leave the door unlatched. To engage dogging, insert the supplied Allen key and turn it. This retracts and holds the latch in the unlocked position. Turn the key back to release the dogging feature and return the panic bar to normal operation.

Cylinder Release:

This panic bar includes an exterior cylinder that allows momentary access from the outside. A keyed-alike cylinder is available as a drop-down option for the painted version of this series. Choosing the keyed-alike option allows multiple panic bars to be operated with the same key. Otherwise, each panic bar is supplied with its own unique key. Turning the key provides only a momentary release of the latch. It does not engage the dogging feature. Once the key is released, the spring-loaded panic bar automatically returns to the locked position.

Optional Accessories (Sold Separately):

Outside Door Handle with Key Release

If outside access is required, an exterior handle must be purchased separately. Without this accessory, the door can only be opened from the inside using the panic bar. The handle is key-lockable. Once unlocked, the handle will operate the panic bar until it is manually locked again. Unlike spring-return lock cylinders, the key does not automatically return the handle to the locked position. The key only locks or unlocks the handle itself; the handle then operates the panic bar. A keyed-alike version is also available.

Surface-Mounted Electric Strike

An electric strike provides another method of releasing the door from outside or from a remote location. It replaces the standard mechanical strike included with the panic bar. When not energized, the electric strike functions like a standard strike and securely latches the panic bar. When activated by an access control device, the strike releases, allowing the door to be pulled open from the outside. Compatible access control devices include keypads, card readers, intercom systems, desk-mounted push buttons, remote controls, and GSM cellular receivers. When using an electric strike, an exterior pull handle and an appropriate access control device are also required.

Door Closer

Door closers are available in several styles with different features, but they all serve the same purpose: automatically closing the door after it has been opened. Because this panic bar automatically latches whenever the door closes, a door closer is a popular accessory that helps ensure the door remains closed, latched, and secure.
