Is this a Commercial project, or Residential project ?
As always, ...please state which code & edition are applicable.

The distance to the property line requiring opening protection might be a factor
Less than 5 ft non protected opening, non-sprinkled building would not be allowed
3' to 5' a rated door would be required.or a sprinkler system in the building
IBC Table 705.8

A sign and no lock.
I lived in a condo for a few years. My neighbor was a spoiled rich girl that would come home smashed at 2:00 am. She would drag another hammered reprobate home and they would proceed to get loud. The stereo was blasting and so was the TV. All the lights are on and they are making more noise than a tornado of tin cans. This went down once a month. I asked her to be nice but that didn't work....so I would go to the electrical room and shut off her power. They would always be surprised and she would say, "This has happened before. I should call an electrician". And off to the sack they'd go.
The next morning I would turn her power on as soon as I woke up. At 4:30 am her stereo and TV would be blasting and all the lights were on. Other than being a drunken whore she was likable enough.

I do not believe there is a number specified in the code for smaller equipment, but you need to be able to get the equipment in, service it and have egress.
Large equipment. When working with equipment rated 1,200A or more, and wider than 6 ft, you must provide at least one entrance not less than 24 in. wide and 6 1/2 ft high at each end of the workspace [110.26©(2)]. do not believe there is a requirement for smaller equipment but you need to be able to get the equipment in and service it.
