Yes, for pretty much any commercial/residential area.
That said, there should be exclusions to such rules for prisons or other areas that are designed to contain people. Some areas need secure doors.
- cperciva 10y agoPrisons should have backup power supplies, not electronic locks which fail closed. If there's a fire or flood, better that prisoners are released than trapped in their cells to burn or drown; they were sentenced to imprisonment, not to death.
- fictioncircle 10y ago> Any lock that can't be opened from the inside should be illegal as a fire hazard. I'm just pointing out the flaw in that statement taken literally. In theory, in the event of a failure, the guards should still be able to open the cells to release people. I wasn't advocating for fail-impossible-to-open-doors.
