This Wordless Wednesday video is from the Daily Mail…what’s missing from this application?
This egress attempt took about 3 hours but has been edited down to a 4-minute video…there’s a surprise at 2:47:

My reason “push buttons” should not be in allowed by code anymore!!!!!
Modern technology just add hardware at the door to release the magnetic lock!!!
I guess that was the only exit from the Building?
Was that a mag lock button release?
Yes, but if the door was in the US it would have required a sensor so the person wouldn’t have to know to push the button.

Signage
Is it held with a electromagnetic lock without a request-to-exit?
Yes – the door has a mag-lock but apparently no sensor.

Loved it! You have to watch the whole thing. 🙂
A bit of signage would have saved the door but we would have missed
4 minutes of great entertainment.
There is a Mouse in the House .lol priceless..I guess the obvious lack of signage would be my guess .like emergency exit only push button to release door.
Hi David –
What is missing (at least if this was in the US) is the sensor that should have unlocked the door when the person entered the vestibule. The push button is an emergency override but the sensor is supposed to be there so the person doesn’t have to know to push the button.

What IBC or UBC, ICBO code cycle did the sensor start being a requirement?
I still think push buttons should go away
The push buttons are just an emergency override, required in addition to the sensor. I’m pretty sure the button and sensor have both been required since the section was added to the model codes. I checked the 2000 editions of 101 and the IBC and both include the button and sensor.
