At my work, each floor as a security pass swipe to get in. If the doors are opened for more than 30 seconds, then an alarm will sound. It's a very annoying high pitched, shrilling sound.This ensures you want to get that door closed ASAP.
I think this is a good feature to have, however we also have a Handicap automatic door opener (once a pass has been swiped of course). This works against the 30 second door alarm, as the door stays open for 2 minutes after the button has been pushed. Which means, everyone on the floor gets to hear the alarm sounding for 1 min and 30 seconds.
And the door cannot be pushed closed, as it's opened on a timer, so by jov it's staying opened for that time (I've tried closing it).
Pet Peeve: People who use the Handicap button because they are too lazy to actually push open the door, also these same people don't wait to ensure that unauthorized people do not enter the floor, they just leave the door wide open. Two fold Pet Peeve.
