Church assembly occupancy and panic bars
NFPA 101 classifies religious facilities as assembly occupancies. Sanctuaries with 50+ occupants typically require panic hardware on designated exit doors. For sanctuaries with 100+ occupants, panic hardware is required on all main exit doors.
Life Safety Code requires single-motion egress - congregants must be able to exit with a simple pushing motion in an emergency.
Beyond panic hardware, churches need secure office areas (pastor office, counting room, administrative space), controlled access to classrooms (especially for child programs), and often fellowship hall doors that require commercial-grade hardware for heavy community use.
Church locksmith work often has budget considerations. Non-profit religious organizations typically have limited budgets compared to for-profit commercial operations. We offer budget-conscious solutions including prioritized security upgrades based on risk assessment.
