What Does ADA Door Compliance Require?
Lever handles (not knobs), maximum 5 lbs opening force, 1/2 inch max threshold height, and 32-inch minimum clear opening width. The Americans with Disabilities Act sets specific requirements for door hardware in public accommodations and commercial buildings. Round knobs are not ADA compliant because they require grasping and twisting.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, ADA complaints related to door access are among the top 5 most common Title III complaints. Getting your door hardware right isn't just about avoiding lawsuits. It's about making your building accessible to everyone.
What Does ADA Require for Commercial Doors?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets specific requirements for door hardware, opening force, and closing speed. These apply to all public accommodations and commercial facilities. Triton Locksmith Plantation audits, repairs, and upgrades door hardware to meet all ADA requirements.
- Opening force: Interior doors must open with no more than 5 lbs of force. Exterior doors have no force maximum but must comply with fire code.
- Closing speed: Doors with closers must take at least 5 seconds to move from the fully open position to 12 degrees from the latch.
- Hardware type: Door handles must be operable with one hand, without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting. Lever handles and push/pull bars comply. Round doorknobs do not.
- Clear width: Doorways must provide at least 32 inches of clear width with the door open 90 degrees.
- Threshold height: Maximum 1/2 inch. Beveled if over 1/4 inch.
Common ADA Compliance Failures Triton Locksmith Plantation Fixes
- Round doorknobs: The most common violation. We replace with ADA-compliant lever handles. $95-$200 per door.
- Door closers set too tight: Closer adjusted for more than 5 lbs opening force. We readjust the spring tension and sweep speed. $95-$150 per closer.
- Thresholds too high: We replace or grind down thresholds that exceed 1/2 inch. $75-$200 per door.
- Automatic door openers needed: For buildings where manual door opening is not feasible for wheelchair users, we install automatic door operators. $1,000-$3,000 per door.
- Missing kick plates: Wheelchair footrests damage the bottom of doors. Kick plates protect the door finish. $50-$100 per door.
ADA Compliance Audits for Commercial Buildings
Triton Locksmith Plantation conducts door hardware audits for property managers, business owners, and ADA consultants. We test every door in the building for opening force (using a calibrated force gauge), closing speed, hardware type, clear width, and threshold height. You receive a written report documenting compliance status and recommended corrections.
ADA compliance is not optional. The Department of Justice enforces ADA through lawsuits, and Plantation and surrounding cities has one of the highest rates of ADA accessibility lawsuits in the country. Proactive compliance is far cheaper than a lawsuit.

Lever handles meet ADA because they operate with one hand without grasping or twisting. We install commercial-grade lever trim from Schlage, Corbin Russwin, and Sargent. For most lock bodies, we swap just the trim without replacing the internal mechanism, saving 0-00 per door compared to full lockset replacement.
