Are security shutters egressable?Updated 15 days ago

Egressable (adj.)
Capable of being exited from; designed or suitable for safe egress.

Commonly used in construction, safety, and building code compliance to describe openings—such as windows or doors—that allow occupants to exit safely during an emergency.

Example:
“This hurricane shutter system is egressable, allowing homeowners to open it from the inside in case of an emergency evacuation.”

Yes, with the right combination of fasteners almost any opening can be an emergency exit. Lanai’s and garage doors are typically the egress exit.
