Lori is the Manager, Codes and Resources for Allegion, and the creator of iDigHardware. With more than 35 years of experience in the door and hardware industry, in her current role she focuses exclusively on the code requirements that apply to door openings.
I always dislike when they put door in that they don’t need, label them up and complain that we are infarct the operation and clearance requirements for the door.
If the door is there it needs to operate as required for the use, occupancy and type of opening.
If they don’t need the door then build a wall in the first place.

The junk can stay. But put a cover on that closer please!
Looks like a 7/11 type store
Is the exit actually required? Or added because it looks good?
I’m guessing the exit is required but I don’t know for use. It is a Mercantile occupancy.
As if blocking the door with the stock….. they have not one but TWO security bars still on the door.
