Types of panic bars 

Since there are different types of panic bars and hardware, the list could be endless due to various options in terms of design and metal. The most common panic bars are the crossbar panic bar and touchpad panic bars. 

The crossbar style panic bar

Such panic bars have a lowered bar that latches from the upper side of the hardware. These bars look minimal and mostly used for glass doors or other high-finish doors that need to look good even with the security mechanism in place. 

Touchpad panic bars

These are the most common type and you can find these almost in all commercial buildings. One has to simply push the security mechanism along the horizontal bar to unlock the door.
