| | FIRE MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | NO EXIT DOOR SHALL BE LOCKED FROM THE EGRESS SIDE. ANY |
| | AND ALL LOCKING MECHANISMS SHALL BE COMPLAINT WITH |

| | PRE-APPROVED (PRIOR TO INSTALLATION) BY THE BUREAU OF |
| | FIRE PREVENTION. CLOSE COORDINATION WITH THE BUREAU OF |
| | FIRE PREVENTION IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO AVOID |
| | MISUNDERSTANDINGS, MISINTERPRETATIONS AND DELAYS |
| | RELATED TO EGRESS REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | DOORS SHALL BE ARRANGED TO BE OPENED READILY FROM THE |
| | EGRESS SIDE WHENEVER THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED. LOCKS, |
| | IF PROVIDED, SHALL NOT REQUIRE THE USE OF A KEY, TOOL, |
| | OR SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OR EFFORT FOR OPERATION FROM THE |
| | EGRESS SIDE. |
| | |
| | PER SECTION 7.2.1.5.9, THE LOCK/LATCH RELEASING |
| | MECHANISM ON ALL DOORS SHALL OPEN THE DOOR WITH NOT |
| | MORE THAN ONE RELEASING OPERATION. THE RELEASING |
| | MECHANISM SHALL HAVE AN OBVIOUS METHOD OF OPERATION |
| | THAT IS READILY OPERATED UNDER ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS. |
| | THE RELEASING DEVICE SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF BEING |
| | OPERATED WITH ONE HAND AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE TIGHT |
| | GRASPING, TIGHT PINCHING OR TWISTING OF THE WRIST TO |
| | OPERATE. |
| | |
| | A THUMB TURN LOCK IS NOT PERMITTED ON THE MAIN ENTRY |
| | DOOR(S). IN LIEU OF PANIC HARDWARE, THE MAIN ENTRY IS |
| | PERMITTED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH A KEYED LOCK WITH |
| | LOCK/UNLOCK INDICATOR WINDOW AND SIGNAGE STATING THE |
| | DOOR IS TO REMAIN UNLOCKED DURING BUSINESS HOURS. NO |
| | OTHER LOCKING OR LATCHING MECHANISMS ARE PERMITTED. |
