Normally also has a second set of contacts wired into the security alarm or the like...
Perhaps a viable solution? Especially with it not opening to the street, if the alarm goes off and unlocks the door in the middle of the night it wouldn't be the end of the world...

Maybe I could rig all my curtains kabuki drop style, with some solenoids, wired into the fire alarm system. If the alarm goes off all the curtains drop and every exit is revealed!

As long as they are not DMX controlled in any way....

Well, for storage...

Safety cable seems to work quite well.
