The BC40010 exit device allows you to push on the bar at any point and actuate the latch bolt with a 5 pound or less load for ADA compliance. The BC40010 is tested to exceed 500,000 cycles and is backed by our limited 10-year warranty should any issues arise. Please note, we do advise dogging the device or locking the latch bolt in the retracted position when being installed on high-traffic doors.
The torque required to unlatch the bolt meets the standard but it is near the top end. The panic bar is designed so that the key can unlatch the device with 12 in-lbs of torque or less. This is higher than the 9 in-lbs maximum for standard door knobs and levers, but does not represent an excessive torque, especially one that might break the key. Double check the application for a load on the bolt that is increasing the force necessary to unlatch the device. Using a key with a larger head is a great idea.
Not advised to modify the mechanism of the panic bar itself because the latching function is tested to both ANSI 156.3 and UL305 standards for panic devices, and a modification would invalidate that.
Comes with a deadlocking sleeve and solid strike. We believe that the deadlocking sleeve version is easier to install and is more reliable.
