In a past Decoded article I wrote about “doors provided for egress purposes.”  Typically, doors that are provided for egress must be compliant with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Fire Code (IFC), even if the quantity of doors provided exceeds the number of exits required.

So if you have a door that looks a lot like an egress door, but for whatever reason you don’t want it to be code-compliant, how do you prove that the door is not provided for egress purposes?  I’m guessing that the signage on the doors in today’s Fixed-it Friday photo was required by the code official, to help set the expectation with building occupants that these doors are not provided for egress purposes and the vestibule may not allow unrestricted egress.

What do you think?

This is not an exit label on multiple doors.
