A new accessible entrance threshold is installed at 3/4 in. high with an abrupt vertical face. What is the correct field response?

Correct Answer

B) Correct the threshold to the new-construction height and bevel requirements

New accessible thresholds are limited to 1/2 in. maximum, with beveling above 1/4 in.; a 3/4 in. abrupt threshold is not acceptable for new construction. Other choices misuse an existing-threshold allowance or create a trip condition.

Answer Options
A
Accept it because 3/4 in. is allowed for every new threshold
B
Correct the threshold to the new-construction height and bevel requirements
C
Add a mat on one side, leaving the threshold and leave threshold accessibility unverified
D
Label the entrance as accessible only for staff and leave threshold accessibility unchecked

Why This Is the Correct Answer

New accessible thresholds are limited to 1/2 in. maximum, with beveling above 1/4 in.; a 3/4 in. abrupt threshold is not acceptable for new construction. Other choices misuse an existing-threshold allowance or create a trip condition.
