  • @enyfd Henrico

  • @hdf561 H short for hempstead?

  • Or you could chock the door with a wooden door chock....good video

  • Often these type of locks are tied into the fire alarm/smoke detector system in an institutional setting. They can also be tied into the sprinkler system.  If any of those systems is activated the lock magnet will release and leave the door in fail safe or unlock mode.

  • @NRGninjaC .

    You will have a lot of fire in front of the door I don’t think you will be going out that door. But if the has died more than likely the power has been interrupted unlocking the door.

  • @NRGninjaC then u dont need to use it as a main entrance

    

  • Magnetic locks are actually better for firefighters, and the building owner, as the lock will continue to work as normal afterwards, with no damage to the door, or lock after being forced open.

  • @Aqlor The locks on the apartment buildings are placed the way they are, so that way a firefighter can get to it. If you notice, on high security buildings, the locks are placed on the inside.

  • what if the fire burns the unlock button from the inside out and you were trying to get out, what would you do?

  • Isn't that really easy to open like the firefighter did?
