An old single entry U.S. Aluminum Storefront Door with many miles on it.

The panic-device (panic-bar) has ceased its dependability.
|
As you can see, it has been pieced together with aftermarket nuts and bolts.
|
Apparently, the door originally used an Adams Rite MS+1890 Lock Series. No doubt the fire marshal required that the exit-device be added later.
|
The surface-mount hydraulic door closer (International 850 or 880 Series) is a good idea, but it’s not properly installed. Also, Internationals 5000 or 8000 series closers might be better on a high traffic door like this.
|
We gave our client an option to replace the panic device with something a little heavier duty, as well as the option to replace it with like-kind.
|
They picked “Like-Kind.”
