Coordinate electrified door hardware (electric strikes, mag locks, electrified exit devices) with fire alarm and sprinkler release requirements on an access-controlled egress door.

Steps

1. Map every electrified opening and identify its required release trigger under the applicable code section (delayed egress, controlled egress, stairwell reentry, etc.).
2. Confirm with the fire alarm contractor that each electrified locking device is wired to the fire alarm control panel and/or sprinkler flow switch so it releases automatically on alarm activation.
3. Verify request-to-exit devices and free-egress hardware allow occupants to egress by a single motion at all times, regardless of the access-control system's state.
4. Confirm fail-safe versus fail-secure operation is correctly specified per opening based on its life-safety function — egress doors generally must fail safe (unlock) on loss of power.
5. Function-test the integrated system at closeout with both the security integrator and fire alarm contractor present and document the results.
