FAQs – ADA Glass & Door Compliance

Q: How do I know if my doors are ADA compliant?
A: We offer on-site evaluations to measure force, clearance, and functionality to ensure compliance.

Q: Can you retrofit my current glass doors to meet ADA standards?
A: Yes, we often retrofit hardware, closers, and thresholds to meet regulations without full replacement.

Q: Does the height of the door handle matter for ADA compliance?

A: Yes. For an accessible door, the handle, pull, or latch must be installed between 34 inches and 48 inches above the finished floor, measured to the center of the operable part. We’ll check your existing hardware and recommend replacements (lever‑handles, push/pull bars) that meet the standard.

Q: Do we have to replace our entire glass storefront door if it’s not ADA compliant?

A: Not always. In many cases, we can retrofit your existing door by installing compliant hardware, adjusting the swing direction, modifying thresholds, and adding proper safety/visibility markings on the glass. Full door replacement is considered only when structural issues or severe non‑compliance exist

Q: How quickly can you assess our building and provide an ADA compliance quote?

A: We aim to schedule a site visit within 1-2 days of your call (emergencies are an exception and we can come out right away). During the visit we measure clearances, threshold heights, spring/closer force, handle height, glass visibility, and more. Then we send you a detailed written quote outlining what needs to be done and an estimated schedule.

Q: Are there different requirements for new construction vs. existing buildings when it comes to ADA door & glass compliance?

A: Yes. New construction must adhere to the latest edition of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design. Existing buildings must comply to the extent “readily achievable” (i.e., easy to accomplish without much difficulty or expense). We’ll show you which upgrades are mandatory vs. best‑practice for your facility.

Q: What are the consequences of non‑compliant doors and glass at our business?

A: Non‑compliance may lead to: • fines from governmental agencies, • legal action (civil suits) from accessibility advocates, • increased insurance liability exposure, and • reputational damage (customers may feel unsafe or excluded). Ensuring your doors, thresholds and glass markings meet ADA standards helps protect your business and improves accessibility for all.

Q: How often should we inspect and maintain our ADA‑compliant doors and hardware?

A: We recommend a formal inspection at least once a year, and a visual check every 3‑6 months. Components like door closers, hinges, thresholds, safety glass markers, and handle mechanisms can drift out of compliance over time (wear, settling, weather). We offer recurring maintenance plans to keep your entrances fully compliant and functioning.
