For retail and warehouse back doors, a standard panic bar often isn't enough. Arm-A-Dor is the "Maximum Security" solution, combining a heavy-duty panic bar with an automatic relocking deadbolt and an optional 95dB alarm. At Lock Depot, we stock Arm-A-Dor for businesses that need to meet life-safety codes while stopping "internal shrinkage" and back-door break-ins.
We carry the A101 Series, which is specifically designed to withstand the "crowbar and sledgehammer" attacks common in retail environments. Arm-A-Dor hardware is rugged, easy to install, and provides a clear visual deterrent to anyone looking for a weak point in your building's perimeter.
The genius of Arm-A-Dor is the Automatic Relock feature. Many employees might "prop" a back door open for a break, but Arm-A-Dor is designed to ensure that once the door closes, it is fully deadbolted and secure without needing a key. It removes the human error from your nightly security routine.
