body: I was just wondering if it is legal for a restaurant to lock the doors of a kitchen where food is being prepared. The door can be opened from the inside
  
  
  It would seem that in case of a fire in the kitchen, the door would not open from the outside, creating a safety hazard. 
  
  
  Thanks for the info.
