INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Determine the hole pattern that matches the panic bar you will be installing
on the panic shield & situate the panic shield appropriately.
PB1100/PB1142 Panic Bar Hole Pattern & Fastening Materials
DETEX V40 Series Panic Bar Hole Pattern & Fastening Materials
PB2500/PB2542 Panic Bar Hole Pattern & Fastening Materials
Step 2: Determine the adjusted size of the panic shield
All Panic Shields have (1)inside and (1)outside adjustable sliding panels &
are designed to be mounted on the inside of the gate. For chain-link gates,
leave a space of approximately 1” on each end for the latch and hinges. Panic
Shields can be mounted on the left or right side of gates 28”-54” wide
(extension plates are available, sold separately). Determine the size of the
mounting plate needed for proper installation and make note of expanded panel
size. The inside panel is predrilled to fit LockeyUSA PB1100/PB1142, LockeyUSA
PB2500/PB2542, or any Detex V40 Series Panic Bar.
Mounting Tip: Determine gate side. If using a lockbox, install prior to
mounting the panic shield on the gate.
Step 3: Install lockbox
Install a keyed cylinder or keyless panic trim at this time. In most cases,
the lockbox is held on with the mounting screws from the locking mechanism. If
using boxes other than the PSGB5 (keyed cylinder) or the PSGB200 (285-P
Keyless Panic Trim), you WILL need to drill mounting holes accordingly
(mounting screws are supplied with lock). After the lockbox is installed,
place the tailpiece in the proper position.
You are now ready to install your panic exit device.
Step 4: Fitting the panic bar to the panic shield
PB1100/PB1142: See Panic Bar Installation Instructions and mount the
panic bar using the (4) ¼” x 9/16” Ribbed Track Bolts and (4) ¼” Nylon Insert
Lock Nuts included with the panic shield. Make sure the tailpiece is centered
and is in the proper position. The tailpiece MUST be in the proper position to
work correctly. Next, adjust the panic shield to the size determined in Step
2. If the panic bar is too long for the panic shield, cut the panic bar down
to the size needed for proper installation. After the panic bar and
shield is sized correctly, to install the panic bar end cap, drill (2) holes
measuring ¼” and bolt it into place with the (2) ¼” x 9/16” Ribbed Track Bolts
and (2) ¼” Nylon Insert Lock Nuts.
PB2500/PB2542: See Panic Bar Installation Instructions and mount the
panic bar using the (2) ¼” x 1” Pan Phillips Machine Screws and (2) ¼” Nylon
Insert Lock Nuts included with the panic shield. Make sure the tailpiece is
centered and is in the proper position. The tailpiece MUST be in the proper
position to work correctly. Next, adjust the panic shield to the size
determined in Step 2. If the panic bar is too long for the panic shield, cut
the panic bar down to the size needed for proper installation. After the panic
bar and shield are sized correctly, to install the panic bar end cap, drill
(2) holes measuring ¼” and bolt it into place with the (2) ¼” x 9/16” Ribbed
Track Bolts and (2) ¼” Nylon Insert Lock Nuts.
DETEX V40: See Panic Bar Installation Instructions and mount the panic
bar using the (2) ¼” x 9/16” Ribbed Track Bolts and (2) ¼” Nylon Insert Lock
Nuts included with the panic shield. Make sure the tailpiece is centered and
is in the proper position. The tailpiece MUST be in the proper position to
work correctly. Next, adjust the panic shield to the size determined in Step
2. If the panic bar is too long for the panic shield, cut the panic bar down
to the size needed for proper installation. After the panic bar and shield are
sized correctly, to install the panic bar end cap, drill (2) holes measuring
¼” and bolt it into place with the (2) ¼” x 1” Pan Phillips Machine Screws and
(2) ¼” Nylon pg 2 Insert Lock Nuts.
Step 5: Install Panic Bar/Shield on the gate
Your panic bar should be mounted to the panic shield at this time. Check to be
sure the lock mechanism works properly. If working properly, you are ready to
install the panic shield and bar to the gate.
Measure 40” up from the ground/surface and mark on the gate. Your panic bar
must be 40” from the surface (40 – 42 inches is the standard height to mount
exit devices).
Check your local code for proper height. Place the panic shield on the inside
of the gate.
Attach the panic shield to the gate using the supplied (8) 1” Stainless Steel
Self-Drilling Screws. It is helpful to pre-drill pilot holes.
Your panic shield is now installed.
Next, install the panic bar strike/keeper. If using a gate stop/strike
bracket, install it at this time. We recommend using a LockeyUSA PSSB Panic
Stop/Strike Bracket with LockeyUSA Panic Shields.
