Doors open when the fire alarm goes off. Conversely, if there’s a security issue, you want the doors to stay locked. It’s also the capitol, so they certainly have alternate egress routes.
I work security in a commercial building, and am studying to be a fire safety director.
“ Doors open when the fire alarm goes off.”
My observation is that magnetically locked doors, are easily opened from the inside, even while locked. The inside door handle cuts the magnet.
