I understand that by code, doors with magnetic locks/strikes need to have a release mechanism wired in such that in the event of a fire alarm or loss of power the lock mechanism is released.
Is there a code requirement that on the card reader side of the door that allows access to an interior secure space that a pull station is to be provided that will release the lock in the event of an emergency situation when the door to a room needs opened and the card reader malfunctions?
