Door Selection: Permitting: The Ins and Outs, Part Three

In my experience, doors are subjected to the following Building Permit review:

Building Officials / Structural Plan Review:

1. Fire Walls: Appropriately labelled doors.
2. Egress: Quantity, Location (based on the diagonal distance from one corner of the building to the furthest corner), and Clear Width and Swing Direction.

Fire Marshall:

1. Fire Access Doors: Width, Keying or Access, Signage, Full Access with No Obstructions, Distance Apart (based on hose length to truck or fire hydrant).

Note: Typically, accessibility is left to the State for review, but occasionally a City's officials will also review (and interpret) for compliance with the ADA or TAS.
