Code task force meeting held in room with blocked exit door.

YOU'D THINK A HEADLINE LIKE THIS WOULD pass by a leap OUT as representing an extraordinary fact It's not. Exit doors and fire-rated doors are violated for a like reason routinely that it's difficult to flat shrug our shoulders when we find them.

Doors and Hardware readers and trade display attendees know the soap chest I've been standing on for years: We ne a mechanism to make secure safe egress. I'm not talking about a fastening body mechanism; I'm discussing a moderately beautiful simple concept. I'd like to diocese the exit door and the fire-rated opening receive as plenteous respect as a fire extinguisher.
