Boutique owner: 'My panic bar is sticking and the inspector is here Tuesday'
Sunday morning - an Atlantic Ave boutique owner called because her storefront Von Duprin panic bar was sticking. Fire-code inspection was Tuesday, and a non-functioning panic bar is an automatic failure.
We rolled a truck inside 18 minutes, diagnosed a worn dogging mechanism, replaced the dogging assembly, lubricated the latch chassis, and verified smooth operation under code-spec force. We left her with a written PM schedule so this doesn't surprise the next inspection.
Atlantic Ave panic-bar service is a steady weekly call - we keep dogging assemblies, strike replacements, and Von Duprin parts on the truck.
