What Does ADA Door Compliance Require?
Lever handles (not knobs), maximum 5 lbs opening force, 1/2 inch max threshold height, and 32-inch minimum clear opening width. The Americans with Disabilities Act sets specific requirements for door hardware in public accommodations and commercial buildings. Round knobs are not ADA compliant because they require grasping and twisting.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, ADA complaints related to door access are among the top 5 most common Title III complaints. Getting your door hardware right isn't just about avoiding lawsuits. It's about making your building accessible to everyone.
Common Questions
How much does ADA compliance cost per door?
Hardware upgrade (knob to lever + closer adjustment): $200-$350 per door. Threshold modification: $100-$200. Automatic door opener addition: $400-$600. We assess what each door needs specifically.
Do all commercial doors need to be ADA compliant?
All doors in places of public accommodation must meet ADA standards. This includes retail, restaurants, medical offices, government buildings, and any business open to the public.
Can you replace our knobs with levers without changing the lock?
Yes. We install lever handle trim that works with your existing lock mechanism. No need to replace the entire lockset. This is the most common ADA upgrade we do.
What if my door closer requires too much force?
We adjust the closer to meet the 5 lb maximum. If the closer can't be adjusted that low (some cheap closers have limited range), we replace it with one that can.
