The State of Utah followed suit. Dade County, Florida jumped into the melee with the added mandate that even the existing devices had to be “upgraded” to a push pad type device.

More jurisdictions then ever are following the example set by Orange County, Dade County and Utah. The "fever" is spreading and the locksmith and door tech are going to be called upon to replace more and more of these devices.

This book goes into detail or the installation of one specific device (The Pannex) but also shows you options utilizing other brands like Jackson, Detex, First Choice and Adams-Rite to replace the cross bar device with a push pad device. I even show you push pad hardware to replace Concealed, Verticle Rod devices.
