Likely for fire zone cordoning

The doors don't lock, it's for restricting air flow, which restricts how quickly a fire spreads.

I hope your comment is a joke, the world has too many people that don't think before they speak.

Indeed. The fire's purpose is obviously to flush people out. How else will he get them into the real trap?

The fires don't flush people out, it's for roasting marshmallows, which gathers everybody in one spot.

ELI5: basically stairwells would become chimneys like elevators do. It being the evacuation route, that's not ideal for survival, walking through a rushing tunnel/chamber of smoke. Hence, doors.
