DHI ConNEXTions October 9-10If you’re heading to the DHI ConNextions conference in Las Vegas next week, Mark Kuhn and I are teaching a 2-hour code update on Wednesday, October 9th from 10 AM to noon!

If you go to the DHI ConNextions site, there is a video of Jessica Lombardo of IRONMARKETS and me chatting about the upcoming class, and here’s a description:

The model codes adopted in most US states are updated every 3 years. The 2027 code development cycle is in progress, the 2024 model codes have been published, and many states have recently adopted the 2021 editions. It is crucial for anyone involved with doors and hardware to understand the current code requirements and upcoming changes that affect door openings.

Did you know:

  • The International Building Code (IBC) now includes a section allowing elevator lobby doors to be locked with fail safe electrified locks?
  • Automatic operators are now required by code on the accessible public entrances serving buildings of certain occupancy types and occupant loads?
  • Electromagnetic locks released by a sensor will no longer be allowed on egress doors that are required to have panic hardware?

This session will help attendees become familiar with approved changes to the 2021 and 2024 editions of the model codes and understand how the recent changes affect the doors and hardware that are being specified and supplied on current projects.

This interactive code update will cover these changes and many more recent and upcoming modifications that affect doors and hardware. Learn what’s new, be prepared for the changes that are in progress for the 2027 model codes, and avoid code-related problems on future projects.

We hope to see you there!
