You should have an emergency exit switch on the wall by the door which
de-energises the lock when pressed. To have a final exit door which
requires either a carried device to open from the inside or a smoke
alarm to function is not terribly bright.


There is a final door exit button, but its pretty useless if you cant see
it. Some of us have visual impairments.
