ADA Door Approach Clearances and Latch Side Clearance

Elements

About this detail

Accessible door approach clearances detail the required maneuvering space and latch side clearances relative to adjacent walls. Where the adjacent face of the wall is greater than 8 inches from the face of the door, a forward approach is required, maintaining a maximum depth of 8 inches from the wall face to the door face. The drawing specifies minimum approach depths of 4 feet, minimum latch clearances of 2 feet or 1 foot 10 inches depending on the approach direction, and a minimum dimension Y of 42 inches if no closer or latch is present.
