Welcome! Let's talk doors!! :)

rd1man - That may be a NJ amendment. NYS requires one 36" side hinged door for egress. At one time NYS required 'all other doors to be 32" minimum', the intent was for other doors to the exterior to be 32" minimum. I don't believe the IRC requires any minimum except for the one egress door, and I believe the newest IRC requires that to be a 32" clear opening (typically need a 36" to get 32" clear...)

Oh Lori,To be so dedicated by your company to this effort is a wonderous thing.

Now if you can obtain some concurrances from the Access Board on some of these questions it would be great.

Also, can you include photo examples with some of your responses? The goog, the bad and the ugly.
Thanks for recognizing the contribution of Allegion! I have not had a lot of luck getting official statements from the Access Board. I will try to include photos more often, but there are thousands of photos on my website if you're looking for something in particular: www.iDigHardware.com.
