Hardware plays an important role in helping facilities meet the accessibility requirements prescribed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We will find requirements in the applicable standards – either the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines, or ICC A117.1 – Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. We will discuss the intent of the ADA requirements and where to apply them and describe the basic accessibility requirements that apply to door openings, including clear opening width, opening force, closing speed, and operating hardware

Learning Objectives:

1. Define hardware requirements of accessible openings according to the ADA
2. Identify opening and closing forces of accessible openings according to the ADA
3. Determine opening dimensions and clearances needed for accessible openings according to the ADA
4. Specify ADA compliant hardware solutions for your projects

Learning Units will be provided: Yes (LU)
