  • Code Version: 2021
  • Code: BUILDING
  • Code Description:
  • Chapter:
  • Section: 1010.1.1
  • Topic: Doors

  • Question: Is it the intent of section 1010.1.1 to allow the use of 6'8" doors in commercial buildings?

Answer:

Yes

Commentary:

Section 1010.1.1 States the height of the door opening shall not be less than 80 inches. See Section 1003.3.1 for headroom and the exception (door closures) but it gives the allowance for reduction to 78" minimum.
