I saw this hold open device on a fire rated door to a computer lab recently.
I guess you make do with what you have on hand, right?

I think I was more horrified by the paint job. 🙂
What are the ADA requirements (if any) when using Flush Pulls on each side of a pocket or barn door, where the job requires no projections on the doors. You would still have to have the 1-1/2″ clearance from the jamb whether the door is open or closed. However, what would be the minimum requirements of a flush pull being used instead of regular ladder pulls for example.
Hi Larry –
The accessibility standards don’t address flush pulls specifically, and I have seen some situations where AHJs did not allow them because they wanted surface-mounted pulls. The ADA standards say: Where sliding doors are in the fully open position, operating hardware shall be exposed and usable from both sides.
The way I understand the intent of the accessibility standards, the sliding door has to stay partially open so that the hardware is exposed and usable.
