I'm currently working on relocating an accesible gate and fence to close to a builidng (MPR) which has a double door that overlaps by 5" on the gate clerances. The reason why I need to relocate this gate is becuase I have a coduits above that are gate. the conduit is at 7'-0" high from Finish floor. My question is is the 5" overlap is allow ? I'm also open to suggestions. Thank you

Which side is interior and which side is exterior?

If the double door is a means of egress (exit) door, how many people exit through that door? If only the right-hand leaf is needed, is the exit sign centered over the 6-foot opening, or is the exit sign centered over the active leaf?
