ETA Editor's Note

The requirements of 2010 CBC 1133B.2.4.2 are more stringent than 1991 ADAAG 4.13.6. They are less stringent than 2013 CBC 404.2.4.1 for swinging doors approached from the hinge side on the "push" side [2010 CBC Fig. 11B-26A(b)], and 2013 CBC 404.2.4.2 for sliding doors and folding doors approached from the pocket/hinge side [2010 CBC Figs. 11B-26C(e) & (h)].
