We've run into a catch-22 beween the security requirements and our fire code. The TTB has some pretty specific requirements about padlocks to go on entrances to storage areas, or for large tanks. They go into detail about what sort of padlocks to get here: http://ecfr.gpoacces...1.1.15.7.171.12 (CFR 27.19.192) However as our locksmith and local fire inspector both pointed out, we can't padlock our front door because of the potential for someone to be locked inside. Our facility has a roll-up door and a side office door. The only fire exit is through that front door. The locksmith recommended a storeroom-type lock that locks automatically and always requires a key to open. I'm also planning on installing a security system. Has anyone else had experience finding a compromise here? I'm intending to specify a variance on the application explaining my "unusual" lock, but wanted to check and see what y'alls thought are about this were. Thanks! Rim Vilgalys
