Re: Exterior Door Landing
House with no "front door", rather two exterior doors, one on each side, both exiting to walkways along their respective sides of the building.
Both exterior "landings" are walkways at grade.
Door A is off living room.
Door B is off kitchen.
The tops of both thresholds are 2.5" above their landings.
Have I got this right:
1) Door A is the "required exit door".
2) The 2.5" from top of threshold to landing height of the required exit door is non -compliant with R311.4.3 (too high).
3) Door B is "other than the required exit door".
4) As "two or fewer risers" are located on the exterior side door B, it falls under exception 1, no "landing" is required, and the 1.5" maximum does not apply.
5) However, at door B, the distance from the top of the threshold to the walkway must be less than or equal to 7.75" .
