I agree with the suggestions by Colin, but would add that it may also be desirable for the exit door to be opened by a "crash-bar" - ie, one-way only - no entry possible - and that the door be alarmed with no possibility of turn-off. I would urge you to check with the local fire authorities on the need for a second exit from the room - I think you will find that one is required. > -----Original Message----- > From: TK Vancura [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: May 14, 2000 1:47 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: fire exit in storage? > > I am designing a collections storage space and would appreciate opinions > on the pros and cons of including a fire exit.
