PDQ Panic Bar Repair FAQs
Can you service PDQ when the call combines a panic device affected by a sagging or misaligned door with a concern about condition of end caps and trim?
For supported hardware, yes. We identify the exact PDQ configuration, reproduce a panic device affected by a sagging or misaligned door, and evaluate condition of end caps and trim before confirming whether panic bar repair is the correct service.
What should I expect on a PDQ visit if a panic bar that retracts but will not relatch is happening and fasteners and device mounting also needs to be checked?
When the question is about PDQ panic bar repair, we start with the condition you can actually observe. The technician compares a panic bar that retracts but will not relatch with fasteners and device mounting, then explains which supported PDQ work belongs in the visit before additional parts or services are added. One useful call detail is a close-up of the latch and strike; another is anything you have observed about condition of end caps and trim.
Does PDQ panic bar repair still make sense when an exit device that will not retract when the bar is pushed appears together with outside trim operation?
It can, but the answer depends on the inspection. If an exit device that will not retract when the bar is pushed is being caused by a problem with outside trim operation, another service may be more accurate; if not, the panic bar repair work can stay limited to the requested service.
Why does a PDQ panic bar repair visit look at condition of end caps and trim when the customer reports a panic bar that retracts but will not relatch?
Because condition of end caps and trim can affect the same operating result without the visible PDQ component being defective. Checking it prevents the wrong part from being repaired or replaced when a panic bar that retracts but will not relatch is the symptom that started the call.
What information helps with a PDQ call involving an exit device that will not retract when the bar is pushed and fasteners and device mounting?
Provide a clear description of an exit device that will not retract when the bar is pushed, plus any photos or details that help us understand fasteners and device mounting. You do not need a full model number; the exact PDQ hardware can be confirmed at the Washington, DC property.
How do you verify the finished PDQ work when the original concern includes a panic device affected by a sagging or misaligned door and outside trim operation?
After supported service, we repeat the normal operating cycle that produced a panic device affected by a sagging or misaligned door and specifically recheck outside trim operation. The work is considered complete only when the relevant function is consistent in normal use.
