It’s a Tuesday afternoon at a medical office off Hoffner Avenue, and the back exit door won’t latch properly. The push bar is sticking, the alarm contact keeps tripping, and patients are still arriving. For any business in Conway, a failing exit device isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a fire code violation, an insurance liability, and a security gap all at once. That’s where A Plus Locksmith & Keys comes in. We provide professional exit device repair throughout Conway and the 32812 zip code, from the storefronts along Curry Ford Road to the office parks near Lake Conway and the apartment communities tucked between Semoran Boulevard and the 408. One call to (407) 536-7717 puts a licensed mobile locksmith on the road to you, typically within 25 to 40 minutes during business hours. We handle panic bars, crash bars, fire-rated exit devices, and electrified exit hardware for property managers, retail owners, restaurant operators, and facility managers who need the problem fixed right the first time. Same truck. Same technician. Same day.
Our Exit Device Repair in Conway
Exit devices — sometimes called panic bars, crash bars, or push bars — are the horizontal hardware mounted on commercial doors that allow people to exit quickly in an emergency. When they fail, your business has a problem that goes beyond inconvenience. Doors won’t secure properly, fire marshals can issue violations, and your insurance carrier may flag the building during the next inspection.
A Plus Locksmith & Keys handles the full range of exit device issues across Conway. Common situations we repair every week include:
– Push bars that won’t depress or spring back
– Latches that don’t catch or hold the door closed
– Dogged mechanisms stuck in the unlocked position
– Worn or broken strike plates
– Alarm-equipped exit devices that won’t reset
– Electrified exit hardware tied into access control systems
– Fire-rated exit devices that fail inspection
– Vertical rod devices with rod alignment problems
– Mortise exit devices on heavier glass and metal doors
We work on all major brands — Von Duprin, Yale, Sargent, Detex, Adams Rite, Falcon, Corbin Russwin, and Precision. Whether your building has older 99-series Von Duprin panic hardware on a rear stockroom door or newer electrified exit devices integrated with card readers, we carry common parts on the truck.
This service matters most to property managers running apartment buildings near Lake Margaret, office facility managers on Gatlin Avenue, medical offices near the South Conway corridor, law firms with secure file rooms, and retail storefronts that need rear exits compliant with Florida fire code. A failed exit device can shut down access for an entire wing of a building. Getting it repaired quickly — by someone licensed and insured — keeps your operation running and your tenants safe.
How Our Exit Device Repair Works in Conway
When you call (407) 536-7717, you talk to a real person, not a call center. We ask a few targeted questions: What brand of exit device? Is the door currently secure or unsecured? Is this a fire-rated opening? Is the building open to the public right now? Those answers help us load the right parts and prioritize the dispatch.
Here’s the typical process from call to completion:
Step 1 — Dispatch. Once we confirm the address in Conway (32812), we send the nearest mobile technician. Our trucks run routes through Orange County daily, so we’re often already nearby. Response time during business hours averages 25 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic on the 408 or Semoran.
Step 2 — On-Site Assessment. The technician inspects the exit device, the door alignment, the strike, the frame, and any connected hardware (closers, alarms, access control). Sometimes what looks like a broken push bar is actually a sagging door or a worn strike — and we tell you the truth either way.
Step 3 — Written Quote. Before any work begins, you get a clear price. No surprise add-ons. Property managers and business owners need accurate invoicing for their records, and we make that easy.
Step 4 — Repair or Replacement. Many repairs are completed on the spot using parts from the truck. For specialized electrified hardware or discontinued models, we’ll source the exact match and return — usually same day or next morning.
Step 5 — Testing and Compliance Check. We test the device through 15 to 20 cycles, confirm proper latching, verify fire-rating compliance if applicable, and make sure any integrated access control still functions correctly.
Step 6 — Invoice and Documentation. You receive a detailed invoice suitable for property management records, insurance documentation, or fire marshal follow-up. After-hours emergency calls follow the same process — we’re available 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exit Device Repair in Conway
How quickly can you get to my business in Conway for an emergency exit device repair?
During business hours, our average response time to Conway addresses in 32812 is 25 to 40 minutes. For after-hours emergencies, expect 30 to 50 minutes depending on where our nearest tech is. Because we run mobile routes throughout Orange County daily, we’re often already close by. Call (407) 536-7717 and we’ll give you a real-time ETA based on current location and traffic conditions on the 408 or Semoran.
Do you repair fire-rated exit devices to code?
Yes. Fire-rated exit devices have specific requirements under Florida Fire Code and NFPA 80, including proper labeling, approved replacement parts, and correct installation. We use OEM or equivalent UL-listed parts so your door remains rated after repair. We also provide documentation suitable for fire marshal inspections — important for medical offices, multi-family buildings, and any commercial property with assembly occupancy.
Can you work on electrified exit devices tied into our access control system?
Absolutely. We service electrified exit devices including electric latch retraction, request-to-exit signaling, and integration with card readers, keypads, and building management systems. We work on Von Duprin EL/QEL, Sargent 8800 series, and similar electrified hardware. If your access control vendor needs to coordinate on the integration side, we’ll communicate directly with them.
What does exit device repair typically cost?
Cost depends on the brand, model, what’s failed, and whether parts need ordering. A simple latch or spring repair might run a couple hundred dollars including service call and labor. A full panic bar replacement on a high-traffic commercial door — especially fire-rated or electrified — runs higher. We always provide a written quote before starting work so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for property managers with multiple buildings?
Yes. We work with property managers, REITs, and facility management companies handling multiple properties across Orange County. Scheduled maintenance includes annual exit device inspections, lubrication, alignment checks, and proactive parts replacement on high-traffic openings. This is especially valuable for apartment portfolios, medical office buildings, and retail centers where exit device failures can trigger code violations or insurance issues.
