Greetings all !

Do the "required" Maneuvering Clearances for doors
and cased openings, apply to toilet stall doors [ RE:
Doors with closers & latches ].......Most [ if not all ]
toilet doors do not have any closers.

FWIW, ...the provision for privacy is listed in the `12 IBC.

North Star,
Just in case it is relevant, the companion text regarding doors in the ABA standards is in paragraph 604.8.1.2, which does require compliance with the door clearances, with an exception for approach from the latch side.
