Tomorrow I’m doing a short code update on electrified hardware for a group of AHJs, and while preparing for that session I realized that the SLA page was due for an update.  What’s the SLA page??  It’s THE resource for the code requirements related to electrified hardware and special locking arrangements, here on iDigHardware.

I have updated the page (it’s on the Topics menu ^) to include information on the new I-Codes section for fail safe locks on elevator lobby doors, the clarification related to stairwell reentry, and the approved change to the 2027 codes for interlocks, among other things.  I also addressed MY FAVORITE CODE CHANGE OF ALL TIME…the language clarifying that not every door with electrified hardware is a special locking arrangement!  I also added the paragraph reference numbers from the 2024 codes.

If you have not referred to this page yet, check it out!  It summarizes the various applications but also includes links to more (and more, and more) information.  If there’s something you think I should add, leave a comment and let me know!
