Not a design or compliance authority
WireADoor is a field reference built by and for technicians. It is not a design, engineering, or code-compliance authority, and nothing on this site is professional advice for any specific installation.
Our diagrams, pinouts, and verify checks confirm only that your wiring matches a known-good electrical topology. They do not confirm that a locking arrangement is permitted at a given opening, or that a door behaves correctly on fire alarm, loss of power, and egress. That determination belongs to the Authority Having Jurisdiction and the stamped, approved fire and life-safety design for the building.
Always verify against the source
Before you rely on anything here, verify it against:
- Your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) — local code, amendments, and the inspector who will sign off on the opening.
- The manufacturer's current instructions and datasheets — the official documentation always governs over any community copy.
- The stamped fire and life-safety design for the building, including how each opening must release on alarm, power loss, and egress.
Code and jurisdiction vary. NFPA 101, the IBC, and your local amendments do not always agree, and editions change. Fits the wires ≠ permitted.
Community-contributed material

Before you wire this
Code and jurisdiction vary. Locking and egress requirements differ by edition and authority — NFPA 101, IBC, and your local amendments do not always agree. This reference confirms only that your wiring matches a known-good electrical topology. It does NOT confirm that the locking arrangement is permitted at this opening. Whether a lock may be installed here — and how it must release on fire alarm, loss of power, and egress — is determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction and the stamped, approved fire and life-safety design for the building.
If you are unsure how this door must behave in an alarm or power-loss condition, stop and confirm with your foreman or the AHJ before energizing.
