Is anyone aware of any code issues of the placement of an electric closet that would be a violation related to egress? For instance, if you enter a storage room to then have to enter an electrical closet, or other way around, if you enter an electrical closet which then leads to a storage room. Any egress violations here? I suppose the concern would be if you're having to egress out of the storage room you need to pass through an electric closet to then egress out of that. Thanks

Aren't there requirements that the doors have to open "out?" Crash bars?

Only if the equipment ratings are high enough. I don't have my NEC handy, so I can't cite a reference.
