    Not the commenter you replied to, but these kinds of systems are usually “fail open”: if there is unexpected loss of power (including the locking mechanism connection to the controller being interrupted), the door is released/unlocked, and can be opened manually by users.

    Some more complex systems will have specific doors automatically shut in the event of a fire to try and keep it contained, depending on local regulations. These doors can still be manually re-opened, but they will not “catch” or latch open until the system fault is resolved

    Edit: add clarity
