I saw today’s Fixed-it Friday example on the main entrance of a museum in Mexico City. The band goes around both pulls when the museum is closed. Effective?

In China, I’ve seen some store entrances with double doors that are padlocked on the outside when the space is unoccupied, by placing the lock on the portion of the handles where it cannot be removed. When employees are working at night while the store is closed, the padlock is placed on top of the handles on the inside, so that if there is a need to egress, employees can easily lift the lock off the handles, but people on the outside cannot open the doors because they cannot reach the lock.
Not effective for egress safety. Bet it takes some fiddling to get the loop off if you do not do it every day.
Anyone could lock these doors for fun and to prevent escape.
Not with the exterior exposed set screw on the pull 🙂
Incredible!!!
Wondered how secure those doors are when they close the Museum, and the doors are strapped together, I can see the
two bottom locksets at the each of the bottom of the doors but no rods, doubt very much that is making them secure enough to prevent break-in a long blade could easily cut the band but not knowing what the band make up is could not assert without knowledge, but it is an interesting solution.
