Installed detex A019 series openers on a bathroom door and a pair of hallway doors.
If a user elects to open the door manually and not push the plate (button) to open the door automatically the force to open the door(s) may require more than 5 pounds now with the new detex closers attached (sure feels harder)....
if it in fact takes more than 5 pounds of force now to open these doors would this now be a violation of ADA?
or is it written somewhere that it's an exception because of the automatic opening option?
