insect entry. Provide lobby and entry vestibules with glass
commercial style store front doors with automatic openers for major
entrances. Navy and Marine Corps Bachelor Housing managers
should designate which entrances require this feature. Other
exterior doors should be solid core, thermally insulated, and secure.
Provide electromagnetic (smart cards), programmable locks or
electronic cards on all doors except toilets and Marine Corps
closets.
Provide each Apartment, Room, or Module with solid core wood or
thermal insulated metal door to provide sound isolation. Provide a
fire-rated, wide-angle security viewport at 1524 mm (60 inch) height
and electromechanical or plastic coded key lock system.
Connecting doors between bedrooms are not allowed.

HARDWARE AND LOCKS. Provide dead bolt locks, and night
latches, keys without room numbers, and door guard. Hinges should conform to
Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) 101, Butts and Hinges.
Hard ware and locks on fire doors must comply with the requirements of NFPA
80, Fire Doors and Fire Windows. Use of plastic key cards (smart cards),
programmable locks, or magnetic reader cards are preferred over key/tumbler
hardware. Hardware and lock requirements vary by Apartment, Room, or
Module Plan. Refer to specific Plan chapter for details.
When determining lock configurations, consider the different locks
an occupant will need to open. For example, in a 1+1E configuration with 2
occupants, each occupant will have to open the main door to the apartment, one
bedroom, and can have access to both closets. If the 1+1E is temporarily used
to house 4 occupants (2 per bedroom), then each must open the main entrance
to the apartment, their bedroom door, and one of the closets in their bedroom.
10-33.1
Bathroom Locks. Install latch bolts on the inside of every
bathroom door to ensure privacy. For example, in the 2+2 configuration shown in
Figure 7-1, this would mean latch bolts on both doors leading to the toilet and
latch bolts on both doors leading to the tub/shower. Ensure that bathroom doors
cannot be locked from the outside.
10-34
WINDOWS. All fenestration must conform to the recommendations
of the Project Threat Assessment Study. Place windows to prevent illicit entry
accomplished by reaching adjacent entry door hardware.
For exterior corridor style configurations, where windows are likely
to be kept covered for privacy, higher fenestration with a separate
covering mechanism is recommended to allow light to enter the
room while maintaining privacy at eye level. Refer to Figure 10-1
