Dave Mylum from Henrico County (VA) Division of Fire’s truck 6 sent in these photos of a door he recently found. The door originally appears to have the same locking mechanism we spoke about last week in our post titled: Indentify and Visualize.
However, take a closer look… Click here to see what’s on the other side.

Another good post. I was curious what was behind the bolts by the middle hinge. The last bit about the inside door reminded me of an article I read recently called “yard sale”.
Pre-planning will also help. This type of door will usually only be found in commercial structures and if we complete our pre incident plans, we can make a note of these types of doors on a building. This can make our job easier and faster.
We have this exact same set up in one of our newer strip malls, down to the drop bar on the door to get to the main floor area and one on the door to get to the alarm panel. It is a video game store called “The Game Shop” or “Game Store” I can’t remember which.
So all I wanna know is whats behind door number three!!! Ive seen the hinge pin mechanism placed behind every hinge too. Saw it at a Best Buy while doing some “out of district”…. wayyyyy out of district pre-planning. hahaha
Can anyone tell me if the lock mechanism still works if power is cut to the whole lock assembly?
This is the new industry standard. In my first due I have a mall, and the management their said that thids is what all of the doors will look like eventually. The only difference is the doors we have have a covered piano hing instead of the exposed 3 hing. We have decided that the best course of action is a single cut into the door above the panic bar, and then using a metal framing square to pull/push the panic bar.
