[georgia plans exam]

Has anyone seen an accessible roll up door that was NOT electrically operated?

Thanks,

I knew Mark would have something.....I have never seen it, but it would all come down to balance on the door and a way to move it enough within the allowable reach range....

Accessible man door integrated into a roll up door.

Typical overhead doors in mini storage unit with springs properly set to the 5 pound force and handles/ ropes so in reach range for opening and closing. Chain operated overhead doors could also comply.

pulling on a chain definitely would require tight grasping

Put a loop in it

You would need a loop in both sides, and the loop will not go thru the mechanism

Depends on the occupancy, you will not for a self storage facility, you might for a warehouse

we just do fully accessible man doors integral to the roll up door
