Access Control Review for Code-Compliant Egress Safety

Access control systems are essential for securing commercial properties, but they must also allow safe, reliable egress during emergencies.

At Green Tag Engineering, our Access Control Review service ensures your electronic locks, mag locks, and other door systems comply with critical fire and building codes like NFPA 101, IBC, and local AHJ requirements.

Whether you’re preparing for final inspections or submitting plans for permit approval, we provide third-party evaluations that help you avoid delays, rejections, and costly rework.

Ensure Your Access-Controlled Doors Pass Inspection

Electronic access systems like mag locks and key fobs offer modern security, but without proper planning and configuration, they can conflict with life safety codes. Green Tag Engineering specializes in Access Control Reviews that help ensure all aspects of your system meet local and national requirements for occupant safety.

What We Look at During Access Control Plan Review

 1. Access-Controlled Egress Door Functionality
We verify that egress doors will unlock automatically in case of fire alarm activation or power failure to ensure safe exit routes during emergencies.

2. Mag Locks, Delayed Egress & Electrified Hardware
From magnetic locks to delayed egress systems, we check every planned component for proper layout and code compliance.

3. Fire Alarm Integration and Fail-Safe Operation
Our engineers evaluate how your access control system will interact with fire alarms, ensuring all components will operate in fail-safe mode when required.

4. Coordination With AHJs
We collaborate with building departments, fire marshals, and other Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to ensure your system is approved without unexpected setbacks.
