In a lot of local buildings where I live the doors are locked from the stairwell side on every floor and locked from the outside at ground level. So you can use them to go down during a fire, but you can't use them to go up.


Yeah. Having been locked in stairwells before (luckily not for too long) I don't usually take the stairs unless they are out in the open.
