8. Every exterior entrance door leading to interior common areas which provide access to two or more
interior dwelling unit entrance doors shall be a self-closing and self-locking door, shall be kept closed at
all times except when in actual use and shall be equipped with a viewing device if it would not

set of doors must conform to the security requirements.
