Hi J,

All door handles must comply with the ADA and Fire Safety Standards.
Door handles are the lever type with one step action to open. In other
words, the person must be able to exit through the door in one step.
The lock must automatically release when turned. Both Home Depot and
Lowes sell the lever ADA fire safety door handles.

Good luck with your new business.

~Diane
