A full-lite office door is delivered with annealed glass instead of the specified tempered safety glass. The glass supplier says the lite is small enough to leave in place. What should the contractor do?

Correct Answer

C) Replace or recertify the lite with compliant safety glazing for the door hazardous location

Glazing in swinging doors is a hazardous location under IBC 2406 and generally requires safety glazing; the contractor should not accept ordinary annealed glass in that location. Other choices do not satisfy the safety-glazing requirement.

Answer Options
A
Leave it in place because the door has a closer, leaving safety glazing substitution unverified
B
The contractor should apply a decorative film and accept the glass
C
Replace or recertify the lite with compliant safety glazing for the door hazardous location
D
The contractor should accept it only on interior doors and leave safety glazing substitution unchecked

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Glazing in swinging doors is a hazardous location under IBC 2406 and generally requires safety glazing; the contractor should not accept ordinary annealed glass in that location. Other choices do not satisfy the safety-glazing requirement.
