Fire code says your emergency exits must remain unlocked from the inside during occupied hours. Security says every unlocked door is an uncontrolled access point. ๐๐ฅ
That tension creates one of the most exploited vulnerabilities on commercial properties in Houston. Fire exits equipped with crash bars are designed to let people OUT. But they also let people IN when someone props one open for a smoke break, a delivery shortcut, or fresh air in a warehouse with no AC. ๐ฅ๐ช
Here are 7 ways to balance fire code compliance with access control, without breaking either one. ๐
Reliable Guard & Patrol Service monitors fire exits as part of every patrol route. Our officers check for propped doors, disabled alarms, and unauthorized exit-point access on every round. It's the single most frequent finding in our nightly reports. ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ก
