DOD RULES COVERING SCIF DOOR LOCKS AND RULES COVERING DIRECTION OF DOOR SWING
Technical Application for Door Swing
The KABA MAS linked bar with CDXO9 combo lock will only work on out swinging doors. This is particularly important because there are NFPA 101 exceptions that allow certain “in-swinging doors” to be included in the means of egress .
7.2.1.4.2
Doors required to be of the side-hinged or pivoted-swinging type shall swing in the direction of egress travel where serving a room or area with an occupant load of 50 or more.
In addition, the KABA MAS-linked bar does not meet FED STD FF -L-2740A and FF-L-2890 requirements for open storage of classified information.
NOTE: By “open storage” FF-L-2740A and FF-L-2890 means any “unprotected” classified information in open view. This could include classified information on an office desk, information on a white board in a meeting room, or an office, or any similar situation where the “wrong people” might view classified data.
The LKM 7000 lock will work on both out-swinging and in-swinging doors. Additionally the LKM 7000 uses the XO9 deadbolt and strike for locking and latching (This does meet the DOD/FED STD FF-L-2740A and FF-L-2890 for open storage of classified information).
Both Locking systems come in mechanical mode and electronic mode (for linking to card access systems of all kinds).
