About this detail

Accessible door assemblies require hardware mounting heights positioned thirty-four to forty-eight inches above the finished floor with operable parts that do not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. The door bottom requires a minimum ten-inch high smooth surface using either an attached panel or bottom rail. Operating force is limited to a maximum of eighty-five pounds of effort for exterior doors and five pounds for interior doors. Automatic doors must comply with ICC/ANSI A117.1 and ANSI/BHMA standards.
