Why Is Panic Hardware Required?

Panic hardware is often mandated by building codes for certain types of buildings and areas, including but not limit to: schools, hospitals, commercial buildings, theaters and stadiums, etc.

Grooved Housing

Appearance: Textured, industrial look.
Durability: More resistant to wear and tear compared with smooth housing.
Applications: High-traffic, utilitarian environments.
Cost: Slightly lower compared with smooth housing.
Maintenance: Hides damage but harder to clean grooves.
