Exterior access devices must not impede the opening of the emergency exit locking part.
This includes blocked exterior handles and keys stuck in the profile cylinder, which can leave the lock in the incorrect position
and cause blocking of the lock.
In the country-specific preface, an explanation has been added to Paragraph 3 (in a process as an installation set). This is
only intended as useful information with an example. The implementation of this information can vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer.
All KFV products listed in this section fulfil these requirements.
