Roofs are tempting places—for people wanting a quiet spot, kids looking for mischief, or worse, strangers seeking hidden access. If roof doors are always open with no control, anyone who enters the building can wander up.
Restricted access—locked doors, controlled keys with security or management—doesn’t guarantee safety, but it reduces random traffic. It also protects installations on the roof (tanks, panels, cables) from damage or tampering.
Knowing how roof access is managed helps you understand how seriously the building treats both security and safety.
