A "thumb turn" dead bolt in a public building is a NO-GOWhy not just have a deadbolt on each door. That way teacher/adult in the room could just simply turn the know and lock door inside the classroom?
And then person on outside would need a key to enter?!? No key needed for people inside the room.

I can't cite the actual code, but it has to do with emergency egress.Against fire code? Or some other reason?
Oh ok.I can't cite the actual code, but it has to do with emergency egress.
A thumb turn can be tampered with and humans in a panic have been known to pile up on a locked door while trying to escape.
A Fire Marshal made me take one out one time and a Building Inspector could as well.
You can have a double cylinder (keyed) deadbolt but you also have to have
"This Door to Remain Unlocked During Business Hours" signage on the door frame.
