Should I prop open doors?

All fire and stairwell doors along egress route shall remain closed or appropriately latched—do not prop them open. Laboratory doors also shall remain closed to maintain air pressurization. Conference room, private office doors, and bathroom doors (if sightlines into spaces are acceptable) may be propped open.
