Abstract
A mounting arrangement for mounting a panic exit device to a midrail of a door provides for a foolproof and quick attachment of the device to the door. The invention includes only two formed tabs insertable into matching recesses in the active stile of the door, and a clamping bar with two set screws holding a remote end of the device to the midrail of the door. The arrangement requires a minimum of machining, eliminating the need to match screw holes between the midrail of the door and the panic exit device, and reduces required precision in mounting such a device to a door midrail.
