How do you unlock panic bars?

Panic bars, also known as exit devices, can typically be unlocked by pressing down on the bar itself, which releases the locking mechanism and allows the door to open. In some cases, if the door is secured with a key or electronic access system, you may need to use a key or enter a code to unlock the panic bar. Always ensure that you are familiar with the specific mechanism of the panic bar in use, as designs may vary. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for proper functionality.
