You're a lifesaver!! Had to install 2 fire rated doors in an old building, got to looking at the hardware and instructions and said "F this!". Lol. Your walkthrough was WAY easier to understand than those convoluted instructions they sent.

LOL. I know how you feel. When it comes to commercial and fire rating doors, there is NOTHING out there to help us. Glad I could lend a hand and thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

Cool video, I'm not in the trade but do have a small project where a similar door will be installed and I like to keep myself somewhat knowledgeable on what is being installed on my property.

Glad you enjoyed it. There are so many different types of locks and hardware in the door trade and even though I've been doing this 15 years, I'm not familiar with EVERYTING, so I try to help people out by sharing the things I run across. Thanks for watching.

Great video! I'm also in the trade, don't forget to explain how to level the bush bar before screwing the tail bracket.

LOL. I work with guys like you. I always just eye it up and they start screaming at me to grab the level. All good. Thanks for watching.

Great video. I like the way the thru bolts go through the center hole instead drilling new holes in the door. Where could I find this model?

@askillthatpays 9 ай бұрын

These panic bars were all supplied by a commercial door supplier and part of a large job. I do not recall the brand. However, I've had great luck at buydoorhardwarenow.com. I have no affiliation with them, but they have a good variety of door hardware. Thanks for watching

What model is that push bar with the lever? Thank you so much for the video

@askillthatpays 7 ай бұрын

I don't recall that brand. I did 8 doors on that job and the client had purchased everything from a vendor and had it onsite when I arrived. Most push-bars can accept a Lever or knob as long as they match the configuration of the hardware. Home Depot sells a brand called "Universal" and they have a standard pull or lever that matches. Thanks for watching.

@SeanMcGrath-n3s 10 ай бұрын

I need to install this same configuration in a door that is 4" thick. Is there a way to extend the parts needed to do this? Great video, thank you!

@askillthatpays 10 ай бұрын

Yikes, that's a big one. I would find a local commercial locksmith or contact a place that really knows this stuff like doorhardware.com. IN Nashville I use nashvilledoorcloser.com for all my commercial parts. I've obtained extension parts for gates that were 2.5" thick, but 4" could be a challenge. Good luck and thanks for watching.

I'm working on a door where the handle snaped in half and I need to replace the handle but I can't get it off.

@askillthatpays 5 ай бұрын

I would look up the specs/intructions for that type of handle or cut it off with a reciprocating saw or angle grinder. I've done both. Sometimes screws get stripped or corroded or you simply can't figure it out, so cut it off without damaging the door and start from scratch. Good luck and thanks for watching.

What hardware is this you used?

@askillthatpays 5 ай бұрын

I don't recall. It was supplied by the client, but they all work the same basic way. Home Depot sells the Universal brand push bar and it has the same mechanism. Thanks for watching.
