Take a look at these egress doors serving a large arena:
Now take a closer look. The 1/8-inch cable that’s attached to the wall next to the pull station runs across the entire bank of doors. It passes through a ring that’s welded to each door, to prevent the doors from being opened.
Thank you to Jon Dudley of Allegion for the photo.

Are you attending the AGC conference in Denver April 1st-3rd? My Allegion coworkers will be there in Booth #117 – stop by and get a live demo of Overtur and the Overtur mobile app with the new punch tool application. You can learn more about Overtur on the discover website, and for more information on the show visit the AGC convention website.

Holy crap!
Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, ‘cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.
But you know now, right?? 🙂

Maybe the sign above should be changed from no re-entry to no exit.
The things people come up with when trying to solve some type of problem, they can just baffle and amaze you.
I cannot believe that kind of stuff still happening!
Well, at least they’re not chained together…am I right?
I would be the new owner of a piece of 1/8” cable.
Come on, It’s like the zip ties at the grocery store doors, push on the door and ?????
Need a break glass box with cable cutters in it near the doors.
If they wanted no one to enter why not simply lock the the doors so that those outside cannot get in . And alarm the doors with contacts to a central alarm system or to stand alone alarm units … Or better yet panic alarm exit devices. .. oh but that would be to costly .
It looks like this is a less expensive version of chaining panic devices together. Maybe the person thought that would send a message to whoever was trying to exit. Not much of a deterrent.
Keep this one for future use.
