The panic bar, or emergency bar, was first invented in the early 20th century to answer the call for a mechanism that provides security against intruders for those located within a building while preventing people from being trapped inside in the event of a fire.
“The idea was first put into practice after the events of the Victoria Hall disaster in Sunderland, England in 1883. It saw widespread use after the Iroquois Theater Fire in Chicago, USA, which killed 602 people on December 30, 1903.”
A crash bar (also known as a panic bar, exit device, panic device,or a push bar) is a mechanism for unlatching a door, consisting of a spring-loaded metal bar fixed horizontally to the front of the door (the side of the door that opens outward) and hinged. It is operated by pushing on it, which unlatches and opens the door.
