Hello everyone, hope all is well.
Existing I-2 with mag locks on main entrance doors. Does not comply with delayed egress or access controlled egress doors arrangement, not that their permitted anyway. After hours, when someone isn't located at the front desk, the mag lock gets locked "to prevent the patients from the dementia unit from escaping". This lock gets released by the use of a RFID key fab on either side of the door. It's on the main door because they eliminated the doors to the units themselves so they can walk around the building.
I know 101 permits the locking of dementia units provided all staff has a key. However, I don't see any such provision in the IFC (2003 ver/NYS Ver) unless I'm missing something. Anyone have insight?
