Which type of doors are not required to comply with specific accessibility provisions?

1. Double-leaf doors and gates

2. Doors/gates designed for security personnel use only

3. Doors/gates intended for user passage

4. Doors/gates with an opening more than 36 inches

The correct answer is: Doors/gates designed for security personnel use only

Doors or gates designed specifically for security personnel use are not generally required to comply with specific accessibility provisions because they are not intended for public use. These types of doors are often situated in controlled access areas where only authorized personnel are allowed entry, such as in security checkpoints or restricted zones. Therefore, the emphasis on accessibility laws, which aim to provide equitable access to public facilities, does not apply to these doors meant strictly for security purposes. In contrast, double-leaf doors and gates, as well as those intended for general user passage, must adhere to accessibility standards to ensure that all individuals, including those with disabilities, can utilize them. The size consideration of doors with openings more than 36 inches also falls under accessibility requirements, as they are designed to provide adequate passage for individuals using mobility devices.
