An anti-panic bar comprises a fixed part (3) with a lock controlling element (5), and a support bar (4) mounted to pivot on the fixed part (3) about a longitudinal axis. In an inactive position, the support bar (4) takes up a position spaced apart from the fixed part (3), and in an active position, the support bar (4) takes up a position closer to the fixed part (3) and also activates the lock controlling element (5). The support bar (4) is an extruded profile binged about the longitudinal axis through a pivot point (40).
