Means of Egress Inspection Sample Question 1 of 1

During an inspection of an entertainment nightclub with a designated occupant load of 350 persons (Assembly Occupancy), the inspector notices that emergency exit doors swing inward and require a deadbolt key to unlock from inside. Which NFPA 101 violation must be cited?

A

No violation, since inward-swinging doors are allowed below 500 occupants.

B

Critical life safety violation: in assembly occupancies with occupant loads greater than 50, exit doors must swing in the direction of egress travel and feature panic hardware latch releases requiring no key.

C

The exit is compliant if a clearly illuminated key-box is mounted nearby.

D

The door swing violation only applies to high-rise sprinklered facilities.

✓ Official Explanation: (B) Under NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, doors serving an assembly occupant load exceeding 50 persons must swing in the direction of exit travel and be equipped with listed panic or fire exit hardware that unlatches under simple pressure with no key, tool, or special knowledge.
