Kevin Whitney of Allegion sent me today’s Wordless Wednesday photo…I wonder if the exit is still required, if the doors are still openable, and why there is signage for a key-operated lock when the doors have panic hardware. So many questions.

Oh no – now that song’s going to be stuck in my head all day! Thanks a lot, Tim! 🙂

I see signage for the door to remain unlocked quite often with exit devices at the main entry, and I always wonder why. If there are exit devices, you can always egress (well, except in this case of course).
Hi Justin –
I don’t know why either, because the signage is only required when there is a key-operated lock like a double-cylinder deadbolt.

There is the standard advisory on the frame:.”This door is to remain unlocked during business hours.” They should make the exit seat only available to athletic folks who can handle rigors of access.
This might be a sealed door that’s not in use anymore. A good sign is the removal of the door closers. It might be a tenant modification possibly violating code for the business might require more than one exit.
That works on an airliner.
Wonder how many dine and dash from that booth.
This is a typical scene where strip centers exist. The design is “module” based with restrooms, entry doors, etc. already in place. When leasing it out the prospective tenant can take more than one module and this is the result, an un-needed entry.
that’s like the airline emergency exit, they will ask you if you’re ok in that seat because in case of an emergency you better be ready
