I am putting in new bedroom door handles in my upcoming RCFE.  Are

there restrictions on the type of locking mechanism they have?  Some

doors unlock automaticly others need to have their knob/button

unswitched.  If there are no restrictions, which do most

administrators prefer to have?  I would appreciate any feedback.

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.
