Panic Bars, Rim Exit Devices & Vertical Rod Systems In Stock and Ready to Ship
When it comes to commercial and institutional buildings, exit devices are more than a convenience - they’re a code - mandated necessity.
In emergencies, exit hardware becomes the difference between chaos and a safe evacuation. Whether you're outfitting a school, hospital, retail space, or high-rise office, choosing the right exit device is crucial for both security and life safety compliance.
At ZenSupply, we carry a full selection of premium-grade exit devices engineered to meet today's highest standards for durability, safety, and accessibility.
And as always, we make it EASY to get the right hardware, right now.
Why Proper Exit Hardware Matters
Exit devices often referred to as panic bars or crash bars serve critical roles:
- ✅ Allowing fast, unobstructed egress in emergencies
- ✅ Meeting fire and life safety codes (NFPA, IBC, ADA)
- ✅ Securing buildings without hindering quick evacuation
- ✅ Withstanding constant use in high-traffic environments
In commercial settings, code compliance isn't optional. Facilities that lack proper exit hardware risk:
- Failed inspections
- Insurance penalties
- Increased liability
- Severe safety risks in real emergencies
That's why it's vital to choose exit devices designed specifically for your building's use case, traffic load, and code requirements.

We stock every type of exit device you need to configure safe, efficient egress systems across single and double doors, including fire-rated and electrified options.
