Doors and gates are a significant aspect of almost all accessible routes within a site connecting buildings, rooms, and spaces. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standards address the many components to make a door accessible, including opening force, hardware, and maneuvering clearances. During this webinar on Thursday, May 2 from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. (CT), Access Board Accessibility Specialists will review the requirements for manual, automatic, and power-assisted doors, doorways, and gates as part of an accessible route.
