A Brookhaven business owner needed a secure side entrance added to their brick commercial building. We installed a 3-0 x 7-0 hollow metal door and steel frame, then fitted it with a Von Duprin 99 series rim exit device (crash bar) on the interior for fire code compliance and a Schlage CO-100 keypad lock on the exterior so authorized staff can enter with a PIN code.
The crash bar allows free egress from inside while the keypad restricts entry from the outside, with no keys to manage or copy. We reinforced the frame with heavy-duty security hinges and a wrap-around strike plate for added kick-in resistance.
The entire installation, including door hanging, hardware mounting, and keypad programming with individual codes for five employees, took about four hours. The building owner now has a fully code-compliant secondary entrance with controlled access and zero ongoing key management.
