Why Getting the Right Exit Device Matters for Your Project

Choosing the correct exit device isn’t just about function, it’s about liability, compliance, and protecting lives. Commercial facilities must meet stringent building codes including NFPA, ADA, and local fire regulations. Properly specified and installed exit devices ensure safe egress in emergencies and smooth daily operations.

From panic bars that allow immediate release to fire-rated hardware that preserves compartmentation, these components are essential for security and compliance in any commercial environment.

Types of Exit Devices Available

Sparrow Supply offers a robust selection of exit devices designed for a range of door types, security levels, and code requirements.

Rim Exit Devices

Rim exit devices are among the most widely used egress solutions for single doors or double doors with mullions. These surface-mounted devices feature a latch mechanism on the edge of the door, providing easy installation and low maintenance. We carry rim exit devices from trusted manufacturers like Von Duprin, ASSA Abloy, and Sargent, ensuring unmatched performance and longevity. Suitable for commercial applications including offices, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities, these devices offer reliable security while enabling rapid egress in emergencies.

Vertical Rod Exit Devices

For enhanced security on double doors without mullions, vertical rod exit devices are the preferred solution. These devices latch at both the top and bottom of the door, offering additional protection against forced entry.

 Sparrow Supply stocks both surface vertical rod exit devices and concealed vertical rod exit devices, allowing for either visible hardware or a clean, tamper-resistant aesthetic. Applications include schools, auditoriums, and high-traffic institutional environments where maximum durability and consistent function are required.

Exit Device Accessories

Your exit system isn't complete without the right accessories. At Sparrow Supply, we provide a comprehensive lineup of hardware add-ons designed to improve performance, meet code requirements, and extend the lifespan of your exit devices.

Strike Brackets, Latch Guards, and Shim Kits

Ensure your door hardware fits precisely and functions reliably with our adjustable strike brackets and shim kits. These components help align hardware for smoother operation and improved compliance. Add latch guards to protect against tampering or prying, especially in high-security environments like commercial warehouses or multifamily units.

Lever Trims and Panic Shields

Customize the operation of your exit devices with premium lever trims that offer both aesthetic appeal and functional control. We also offer panic shields that prevent unauthorized access from the push side, improving building security while maintaining code compliance. Whether you need electrified trims for access control integration or basic mechanical functions, we have the solutions ready to ship.
