The main door -- the one we always use -- can be locked such that it's
not possible to open without a key.  (Or destroying the wall / door.)

If the main door is locked there are three other exits:

 - the fire escape ladder
 - the south stairwell (we haven't tested this recently, and can be
   blocked by produce stored by the first floor tenants; the exit door
   is supposed to be openable from the inside.)
 - up to the roof and over to another building.

There are hundreds of buildings in the mission which are locked at night
using metal gates.  That's basically the same scenario, no?

I'd like to see a fix for this problem.  The existing physical security
at 2169 is a big problem, and we've had projects in the past to improve
the situation but AFAIK none of those are still active.
