Are the electromechanical locks typically used for individual residential entry doors required to be listed to UL 294 or UL 1034 in order to comply with the model codes?
Tim Weller of Allegion sent me today’s Wordless Wednesday photo of a door he saw on his recent trip to Europe. I need to put Norway on my list!

The model codes are not very specific about this topic, so my question for you is this: What’s your take on the manual rearming of a delayed egress lock? WWYD?
In today’s guest post from Devin Bowman of TGP, he discusses the difference between three applications that are somewhat similar in purpose, but very different when it comes to egress.
I saw this door in the Theater District in Denver, with an art project preventing the door from opening. I’m assuming the door is no longer used…I wonder what it looks like from the inside.

This is Part 2 of an updated Decoded article covering door swing and encroachment, along with some new photos illustrating how a door might encroach into an egress path.
Imagine walking up to a pair of fire doors that are not closing and latching properly. You climb the ladder to check the closer, look down into the latch case cover and see…nothing.
For many of my final projects as a hardware specwriter, I specified crossbar style panic hardware because most architects find it more aesthetically pleasing. Do you agree?
