Last week, I published a couple of posts while attending the BHMA meetings in Nashville. An iDigHardware reader asked me what the organization was all about and why I was part of it.
Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this system on one of my hotel room doors. How about you? Is this a new trend in hospitality?

Brad Anderson of Allegion sent me today’s Wordless Wednesday photos, taken in a hotel. Someone made a good effort but I see a few problems. What do you think?
Yesterday an integrator contacted me with questions about the Von Duprin Chexit, delayed egress panic hardware. Luckily I could point him to all of the resources he needed in one location.
Today’s Quick Question came up again last week: Do current model codes prohibit the use of crossbar style panic hardware? What are you seeing in the field?
