In my current column in USGlass Magazine, I addressed the requirements for electromagnetic locks released by a sensor.  Are you aware of the change to the 2024 I-Codes affecting this application?  Can you answer this question?

What codes apply to doors with electromagnetic locks released by a sensor?

There are two sets of code requirements that typically apply to electromagnetic locks.  Beginning with the 2024 I-Codes, only one of these applications will be allowed on doors with panic hardware.  If you’re not familiar with this change, check out the post on the USGlass website!
