Sometimes I wonder if y’all are creating these Wordless Wednesday and Fixed-it Friday photos just so you can get famous. 🙂
Thank you to Eric Rieckers of Yadon Construction Specialties, who was not responsible for this installation!

I guess they were inspired by this video…

Where are the exterior pull handles?
If I had to guess, I’d say on the interior!

Thanks for starting my morning with a laugh. I literally laughed out loud when I opened this page.
My doggies are looking at me and wondering what’s going on.
These types of pictures deserve more context!! I see an exit sign way in the back corner, so it makes me wonder if the entire wood framed opening was installed backwards. It looks like the doors might be opening in to an office area or something. Then perhaps the installer decided to put the panic devices on the proper side anyway? Then couldn’t figure out why it doesn’t work, so he took off the cover plates to investigate…
So much LOL here… thanks for sharing.
I’d like to meet the tech who installed this… just to see what kind of person would do this…
Sometimes instructions are mistaken for packaging material.
I would have loved to have seen the look on the installer’s face when he started to install the mullion or top latches if vertical rod.
Really !!!!!
It took a second, then I laughed out loud.
No, there’s just that many poor installations of hardware out there!
“Deconstructivism” and “showing off the inner workings of the building”
Really! I think it’s Photoshop, no?
Unfortunately not. You only make that mistake once. Actually twice. :\

Looks like a life safety violation to me.
Giving the benefit of the doubt where it probably isn’t due, could those mechanisms operate concealed vertical rods, and could the hinges be of a double-swing type? While latching mechanisms for double-swing doors would seem tricky, I would think there could be some situations where it would be desirable to have an exit door which could be pushed from either side.
No, I don’t think that’s the case here.

I’m sure that someone really like the exit device design.^^
Quality! 🙂
Wow, just wow :/
Haha, that is pretty amazing.
A royal goof up or planned glass barrier .who knew . A new type of doctor Doolittle panic know as push me pull you … think original Dr. Doolittle…
