Question

Answer 2

yeah, theres loads of them because the alarm would go of everytime someone uses them, so the alarms are often disabled, people use them mostly because of short cuts to car parks or alot of people just got out for sigarette breaks and don't want to use the front door or arn't allowed. And they can't be locked of course because thats illegal in case there is a fire!
