As said before, paging would work well. A walk through of the<br>
building would be helpful too.</blockquote><div><br>In this case, walking all the way through the building is not possible (way too long).<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Although rash, pull the fire alarm, making sure to remove the<br>
connections to the fire department. Killing the power shortly after<br>
would certainly help providing you have lighted emergency exit signs.<br>
<br>
You could leave a sign on the door when you lock it with a number to<br>
call to get out, this could be done via Asterisk with right kind of<br>
automagic door lock, otherwise, stick around and get ready to answer<br>
calls.</blockquote><div><br>Nice idea : I haven't thought about that one. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
There are many buildings with stairwells that open to the stairs but<br>
will not open from the stairs, maybe if you give more details, a good<br>
solution could be devised.<br>
<br>
A few cans of tear gas can clear an area post haste ;-)<br>
<br>
Curious, are you shutting down your company without giving notice?</blockquote><div><br>Not at the moment but, just in case, I will try to use tear gas, first ;-)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I<br>
feel that if an employee should give two weeks notice, so should the<br>
employer.<br>
<br>
If not, you could simply install a key card system for at least the<br>
main door, or a motion sensor that activates a servo in the door<br>
locking mechanism. Either way, it should be fairly cheap.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
