Page "Door" Paragraph 40
from
Wikipedia
As such doors can only be forced open from the outside, building occupants would be prevented from escaping.
In commercial and retail situations manufacturers have included in the design a mechanism that allows an inward opening door to be pushed open outwards in the event of an emergency ( which is often a regulatory requirement ).
Pushing the door outward at its closed position, through a switch mechanism, disconnects power to the latch and allows the door to swing outward.
