How to Size a Push Bar

Flush Doors

To size a push bar for a flush door, do the following:

1. For bent end bars: Door width - 5" = Push Bar Length
2. For square end post mount bars: Door width - 5" = Push Bar Length
3. For round end post mount bars: Door width - 7" = Push Bar Length

Note: Recommended Mounting Location is 42" above the finished floor.

Stile And Rail Doors/ Doors With Lites

To size a push bar for a door with stiles/rails/lites subtract the width of one stile from the door width and that is your push bar width.

Caution: Always confirm bars will not interfere with jamb or cause a pinching hazard.

Caution: On narrow stile doors, be sure push bar base fits on stile and the bar does not interfere with door stop.

Note: Recommended Mounting Location is 42" above the finished floor.
