Most are tied into the fire alarm to release immediately in the event of a fire or other emergency.
There is far too many of these permitted in Ontario- in common public areas at malls, big box stores, etc..
And regardless of being hooked up to the fire alarm- the ones here are, but only on confirmed EVAC OR sprinkler alarm- pull station still has a delay.
Having many panicked people seeing a fire in a store, and running for a door, finding it locked, and the next one, can cause a really bad situation. Trampling, etc...
I understand their purpose, agree they should be used, but I do not agree how overused they are in PUBLIC spaces in Ontario.
