I was in the CWT office today (Sunday) on Level 6 and there was a fire drill. I tried to access the fire escape to get out of the building and the mag lock on it had not released, so I could not access the door, I tried both fire exists (the doors that have the sign on them about a 2,000 baht fine for opening). Also I still required my pass card to get inside the central area with the gates where one of the exists is.
I am no fireman, but I would assume that when the fire alarm is going off that these mag locks on all doors should release, is that correct?
If not is there a special code or access card that I need to exit the building in the event of a real fire that I should be aware of?
