The elevator is the hub of the building.  Upon fire alarm the doors to the wings close and lock to the side of the elevator shaft.  The elevators (2) are returned to floor level automatically.Locking the door to one wing from the central core to me is dangerous.  Hypothetically the fire could be in that wing blocking the stairwell at the end.  Especially since this is a section 8 housing and people live there without assistance.  It just unnerves me they cannot get to the central hub to get to another fire exit.  I have even spoken to the AHJ about it.  He said the doors were correct for the situation.As you know, normal fire door holders are on the wall and with low voltage from the fire panel or access control device, drop power on fire alarm.<img src="https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-oi0ifiqroy/images/stencil/210x210/products/74010/110352/edw-1504-aqn5__66901.1544006905.jpg?c=2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Do you see anything wrong here?[ATTACH=full]140594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140596[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
