According to the ADA, doors present some of the most common accessibility concerns for disabled persons. Doors that require too much force to open create difficulties for the elderly, for the disabled, and for anyone without sufficient upper-body strength. To facilitate universal accessibility, the ADA has determined the force required for pushing or pulling open a door or gate (other than a fire door) should be: • Interior hinged doors: 5 pounds maximum (2.27 kg) • Sliding or folding doors: 5 pounds maximum (2.27 kg) • Data per 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, section 404.2.9

Our Door Pressure Gauge shows the amount of force (pounds or kilograms) required to open doors so you can determine if the door meets A.D.A. regulations. An absolutely vital tool if working on doors in facilities requiring full access to disabled persons. It can also be used to determine the amount of rolling force required to open or close patio doors. Gauge measures a range from 0 to 35 lbs. (0 to 15.9 kg).
