Door Height From Grade

[Joe Arcaro]

Hi:

Anybody know of any written documentaion (code) that requires exterior doors to be a certain height off of ground?

Thanks,
Joe

[Matt Fellman]

They're allowed to be right at ground level... sometimes it's requires (ADA, etc.)

[Jim Robinson]

Is that the storm door or the main door?

[Joe Arcaro]

That's the storm, but the main door is right behind it at the same level.

Max 7 3/4", if the the exterior door does not swing over the landing, see Powered by Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:U_wJQ-S_7jcJ:www.cityofeagle.org/vertical/Sites/%257B78557FDD-14BE-414E-8624-C15ED40E9C6A%257D/uploads/%257BC0ED4C40-2BC6-409A-A142-0506C276F2A3%257D.PDF+R311.4.3&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgHzvw0GkKJHKQ3ZVwialTPmCOp8bO1xuOP9KJ0 3YNIBsvoAbQaj-9I2Rtyu7gBbvHclxJpCy9LwcmLsNwZbbImOqNrh4QR18V2f5Dh RzMqhsSTvFOZFqGgTLRQIoCOUET1a5FE&sig=AHIEtbS22nZsx7EwlGfWoirWOzRwNRUhmQ)

When there's weather exposure, the code would be the code of common sense.
