I agree, I did some remodeling in an office in Southern Cal and the contractors were very sensitive to the key card issue- they insisted we make some design changes to avoid what they referred to as "man traps". And all exits required panic bars, etc. Really drove up the cost of my little project but I'm glad they knew their biz......
But you got me thinkin'- I haven't checked out my new offices, and I'm on the third floor......
Looks like a fire drill tomorrow!
