A restroom door on an accessible route has a 32 in. nominal leaf, but the closer arm and stop reduce the clear opening below the required dimension. What should the superintendent require?

Correct Answer

B) Verify and correct the installed clear opening so it meets the required accessible width

Accessible compliance is based on clear opening measured with the door open, not merely nominal leaf size; the installed condition should be corrected if it is too narrow. Other choices measure the wrong item or ignore the accessibility requirement.

Answer Options
A
Accept it because the nominal leaf is 32 in.
B
Verify and correct the installed clear opening so it meets the required accessible width
C
Add a sign directing users to push harder, leaving accessible clear width unverified
D
Use appearance alone as acceptance for accessible clear width

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Accessible compliance is based on clear opening measured with the door open, not merely nominal leaf size; the installed condition should be corrected if it is too narrow. Other choices measure the wrong item or ignore the accessibility requirement.
