1010.1.9.8.1 Delayed Egress Locking System

The delayed egress locking system shall be installed and operated in accordance with all of the following:

  1. The delay electronics of the delayed egress locking system shall deactivate upon actuation of the automatic sprinkler system or automatic fire detection system, allowing immediate free egress.

  3. The delayed egress locking system shall have the capability of being deactivated at the fire command center and other approved locations.
  4. An attempt to egress shall initiate an irreversible process that shall allow such egress in not more than 15 seconds when a physical effort to exit is applied to the egress side door hardware for not more than 3 seconds. Initiation of the irreversible process shall activate an audible signal in the vicinity of the door. Once the delay electronics have been deactivated, rearming the delay electronics shall be by manual means only.

    Exception: Where approved, a delay of not more than 30 seconds is permitted on a delayed egress door.

  5. The egress path from any point shall not pass through more than one delayed egress locking system.

    Exceptions:

    2. In Group I-1 or I-4 occupancies, the egress path from any point in the building shall pass through not more than two delayed egress locking systems provided the combined delay does not exceed 30 seconds and the building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1.
  6. A sign shall be provided on the door and shall be located above and within 12 inches (305 mm) of the door exit hardware:
