Camax Hardware manufactures concealed vertical rod exit devices

"In modern buildings, safety shouldn’t compromise design. Concealed vertical rod exit devices offer seamless protection—where the hardware disappears but the security doesn’t."

Concealed vertical rod exit devices are an innovative solution that combines safety with aesthetics. These devices hide the rods inside the door, giving it a sleek, clean look while maintaining all the security features necessary for quick emergency exits. Concealed vertical rods are ideal for high-end commercial buildings like offices, hospitals, and other architectural projects where design is as important as safety.

How Concealed Vertical Rods Work

At the core of the invisible vertical rod panic exit device is its simple yet effective mechanism: top and bottom rods that retract the latches when the push bar is pressed. This allows the door to open instantly, providing quick egress in case of emergencies.

The difference between concealed and surface-mounted vertical rods exit device is mainly in their appearance and installation. Concealed vertical rods are completely hidden within the door frame, offering a cleaner look, while surface-mounted rods are visible on the door’s exterior, making them bulkier and more intrusive. The hidden exit devices provide a more aesthetically pleasing solution while maintaining the same level of security and functionality.
