Routine maintenance port: mainly lock it reliably and prevent accidental opening
‌Locking mechanism‌: A ‌multi-point locking mechanism‌ is required to prevent the cover from accidentally loosening and opening due to wind, vibration or temperature changes.
‌Anti-theft requirements‌: Roof access openings belong to the building's outer envelope, and locks must have an "anti-theft function" to prevent outsiders from illegally entering the building through the access openings.
‌Easy to operate‌: The lock should be designed to be ‌operable by one person‌ to facilitate daily opening and closing by maintenance personnel.
‌Safety Tips‌: The locked state should prevent children or unauthorized persons from opening it at will to avoid safety accidents such as falling. ‌‌
Also serves as a fire evacuation exit: emergency escape requirements must be met
If the roof access opening is also used as a fire evacuation passage or safety exit, the design of the lock must strictly comply with fire regulations, and locking is strictly prohibited.
