Re: Doubled keyed door
Dan,
While that is not a 'required egress door', in fact, it is not even considered 'an egress door' as one is not allowed to have an egress from the the house to a garage (not one which is counted, let's say it that way), however, with all of that said: If you were near that door and there was a fire in the house area, would you not try to egress through that door and through the garage to get 'outside'?
If your answer is 'Yes.', as mine would be, then *I* would not want to find myself locked in that area because of a double keyed lock.
While I could probably make the code apply there (regarding not having to use keys, etc.), it is much simpler to state it as a 'safety hazard' as it could interfere with saving ones own life should the need arise. No seller or agent can argue their way out of that call.
