    This started happening in my high school a few years ago, Everyone seems to think that they did it to make it easier to catch people doing weed by closing half of the bathrooms at any given time. It’s super annoying because the bathroom closest to my classes are always the ones to be locked for some reason so I have to walk across the entire school (the school is really big) to get to an open bathroom and when I do get there it’s usually so dirty and crowded that it’s almost unusable.

      If thats the case I think someone needs to call the fire marshal. No way I’d feel safe in a building which could lock me in like that.

        not escaping to a bathroom and not escaping the building are two different things entirely

            oh right. But normal doors of rooms / lecture halls get locked too, if unused, at certain schools/universities

              Most lecture halls don’t usually lock you in though. This gate appears to require a key both directions.
