      All battery-operated smoke alarms from the 1970s and most battery smoke alarms from the early 1980s make that type of noise too. It's a cool sound.

      I once opened an emergency exit at a drugstore at age 6. Since I couldn’t read yet, I thought it was just a regular door. I was horrified when the alarm went off. It sounded just like the third alarm in this video. My ears were very sensitive to the loud noise due to my autism. Never made that mistake again by opening an emergency door.

    is it really not to code if the alarm doesn't sound? i would expect that it's fine as long as the door opens since i think the alarms are to prevent theft

    • @BeezyKing99
      @BeezyKing99 3 роки тому

      it is, the door alarms are supposed to sound off if they're meant to be used as an emergency exit so the in-store staff know which door has been tampered with and/or exited through... therefore they can review the footage to see what happened prior to it sounding off.

    • @RyanLeiby
      @RyanLeiby Рік тому

      Actually I think the alarm is supposed to be turned on for emergency exits or fire exits to prevent non emergency use

    • @aidenlui1
      @aidenlui1 Рік тому

      The alarm is to discourage misuse, to prevent shoplifting and to lead the people trying to escape in a fire to the exit.

    • @Schobbish
      @Schobbish Рік тому

      @@aidenlui1 I’m still not convinced it’s a code issue though. It makes sense that a shopkeeper wants to prevent misuse etc, but that isn’t something that needs to be required by code. Rather, it’s something that the shopkeeper can choose to use. And I think the fact that it guides others to an exit is just a side effect, else they would be installed on all emergency exits.
