What lock system is considered for Life Safety?

• A. S&G 8077
• B. X-10
• C. X-07
• D. LKM 7000

Answer: (D)

Life Safety locks are built to ensure immediate and reliable egress in an emergency, even if power is out or access control is active. They must allow occupants to exit quickly from inside without a key, while still providing secure access from outside when needed and meeting relevant life-safety codes. LKM 7000 is designed and listed for life-safety applications, delivering the required fail-safe/egress behavior for exit doors. This makes it the appropriate choice for doors governed by life-safety requirements. The other systems are not standard life-safety solutions: they’re oriented toward different use cases (such as general access control or safe/container security) and do not inherently guarantee the egress performance required by life-safety codes.
