When it comes to balancing security and safety, exit devices are a critical component of any commercial door system. At Robert I. Merrill Co., we offer a wide range of high-quality exit devices tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. Whether it’s panic hardware or fire-rated exit devices, we’re here to ensure your doors provide secure access while complying with emergency egress requirements.

Panic Devices vs. Fire Exit Devices

Choosing the right exit device starts with understanding your needs.

Panic Devices

Designed for non-fire-rated openings, panic hardware ensures a swift exit during emergencies without compromising security.

Fire Exit Devices

Equipped with a fire label, these devices are built to meet fire safety standards, offering a reliable solution for fire-rated openings.

Both options are engineered for durability and immediate egress, making them a vital component of life safety in any commercial space.

Types of Exit Devices

Exit devices come in several styles to suit both functional and aesthetic requirements:

Touch Bar

The most common and user-friendly option is projecting slightly from the door for easy operation.

Crossbar

Features a horizontal bar suspended between the hinge and lock cases, offering a classic look and functionality.

Integral Devices

Recessed into the door, these provide a streamlined appearance with minimal projection.

Exit Device Functions

Different functions allow you to customize your exit device for specific purposes:

Exit Only

No outside trim, ensuring access is limited to interior operation.

Dummy Trim

Fixed, non-functional trim for aesthetic purposes.

Night Latch

Operated externally by a key only, maintaining security.

Classroom

Allows locking and unlocking via key from the outside.

Additional features such as alarms, delayed egress, electric latch retraction, and visual indicators can further enhance the functionality and security of your exit devices.

Custom Trim and Latching Options

We offer an extensive selection of lever styles, finishes, and latching mechanisms to fit your design and security requirements:

Rim Devices

Mounted on the door surface for straightforward installation and operation.

Mortise Devices

Built into the door for a seamless look and added security.

Vertical Rods

Ideal for double doors, ensuring top and bottom latching.

Three-Point Latching

Adds an extra layer of security by locking at three points along the door.

Exit Device Dogging: Convenience for High-Traffic Areas

Dogging allows the latch to remain retracted, enabling push/pull operation without triggering the locking mechanism. This feature is perfect for high-traffic entryways, improving ease of movement through the door.

Mechanical Dogging

Uses a hex key or cylinder for manual control.

Electric Dogging

Integrated with access control systems for automatic functionality and scheduling.
