Swinging door latch side approaches require specific minimum clearances on both pull and push sides to comply with accessibility standards. The pull side requires a minimum twenty-four inch clearance beyond the latch edge, and a minimum forty-eight inch depth extending perpendicularly, which increases to fifty-four inches if a door closer is present. The push side requires a minimum twenty-four inch clearance beyond the latch edge, and a minimum forty-two inch depth extending perpendicularly, which increases to forty-eight inches if a door closer is present.
