Of course not, but if you try to open this door you would soon find out. This door has been nailed shut! The building manager said the wind kept blowing the door open and setting the alarm off. So his quick fix was to put a nail in the door!!!

THIS IS BAD!!! This is an egress door, which puts life safety at risk! There are a few remedies to this issue: one is to put a panic device on the door with trim that latches, as well as a door closer.

If you are at your workplace and run across an issue similar to this, please bring it to someone’s attention and have it fixed!

Many times people often only think of the fix and not the possible results.  At Queensgate Hardware and Security our job is to make sure everything is done correctly, up-to code and always thinking about the long-term effects.  So whether you’re in need of some door frames, restroom partitions, hardware or maybe a keyless entry system, we can help!
