When you are working in the fasteners, springs, and industrial hardware aisle of a door project, the real decision is usually function first: do you need to lock a doorway securely, or do you need to push out fast in an emergency? Universal Hardware offers two different answers. The UH40055 is a commercial single-cylinder deadbolt, while the UH40010 is an industrial push bar emergency exit device. One is for controlled, keyed access; the other is for an emergency egress route. Both are listed in new open-box condition, so the final call comes down to the door job itself, the finish you want, and the listed price you are prepared to pay.
Quick Verdict
Buy the UH40055 deadbolt if the door needs keyed security, a compact conventional lock shape, and the lower listed price of USD 19.95. Buy the UH40010 push bar if the door is an emergency exit point where a push-bar release matters more than a keyed lock and you can work with the higher listed price of USD 59.99. The listed prices sit USD 40.04 apart, and both units are listed in new open-box condition.

Where Each Product Wins
Where the UH40055 Deadbolt Wins
The UH40055 makes sense when the job is locking a door, not pushing it open. The listed description calls it a commercial single-cylinder deadbolt suitable for commercial and residential applications, with an ANSI Grade 1 security level, a satin chrome finish, two keys, and a square-corner strike. Its assembled dimensions of 2.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches and 2-3/4-inch backset match a conventional lock layout. If you are outfitting several entry doors, keyed deadbolts are a direct match.
Where the UH40010 Push Bar Wins
The UH40010 is aimed at a different moment: someone needs to leave through a doorway quickly. It is the only product in this head-to-head described as an industrial push bar emergency exit device. Its listed material is aluminum, the color is gray, and universal mounting with hardware included makes it a flexible commercial door option. If the door is an exit route rather than an entry point, the push bar form is the clear fit.
Product Notes
Commercial Single Cylinder Deadbolt UH40055
If you are adding a keyed lock to a commercial or residential door, the UH40055 includes the security details a deadbolt buyer looks for: an ANSI Grade 1 level, a satin chrome finish, two keys, and a square-corner strike. The 2-3/4-inch backset and assembled dimensions of 2.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches give you a clear idea of its footprint. That makes it a straightforward keyed entry option for a conventional door prep. The limitation for this head-to-head is that a deadbolt does not provide the push-bar release you need on an emergency exit route.
Industrial Push Bar Emergency Exit Device UH40010
For an emergency exit, the UH40010 is the product in this head-to-head built around pushing a bar to open a door. It is listed as industrial-grade aluminum, with a gray finish, universal mounting, and hardware included. The bar shape is consistent with an emergency exit device, and this is the only product here designed for that role. That makes the choice depend on whether the door's primary job is egress or entry control. As a practical limitation, it does not give you the keyed deadbolt security of the UH40055 if the same door has to serve as a controlled entry point.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Keyed entry door: Choose the UH40055 single-cylinder deadbolt for its ANSI Grade 1 details, two keys, and compact lock dimensions.
- Emergency exit route: Choose the UH40010 industrial push bar for its aluminum construction, universal mounting, and push-bar form.
