This is part of the state health codes in several states, including Louisiana and North Dakota. Doors must be solid and self-closing. There are notable exceptions, such as the high-volume restrooms in airports.

In general, commercial restrooms are required to have self-closing doors to ensure privacy, safety, and accessibility. A door closer is a common device used to achieve this requirement. Nevertheless, you should consult local building codes and regulations regarding door closure requirements for commercial restrooms in your area.

How to Select the Correct Commercial Door Hardware?

Selecting the correct hardware for commercial doors is most often a matter of conforming to an architect’s specifications. Panic bar hardware, lever lock sets and door closers are manufactured to strict specifications that differ greatly from those used for residential door hardware. In addition, the type of hardware that is used in commercial buildings is regulated by fire department codes, and it is an architect’s responsibility to be familiar with these regulations. An approved building plan for a commercial building will include the correct specifications for door hardware, and this hardware will differ in accordance with the use of a particular building. In a high rise building, panic hardware might be specified for the entry doors and service doors. An approved building plan will include the model numbers of this hardware, as well as the type of closers that are required. Typically, storefront and glass doors will have a hidden closer that mounts below the threshold at the base of the doors. Service doors will most often have a surface mount closer, that’s installed on the hinge side of the door, just below the line of the door jamb. All commercial door closers have a specific resistance that allows the door to close at the required rate, and in accordance with the use of the door. A closer for entry doors will most often regulate the doors at a slower rate than closers used on a service door or common corridor doors. These are convenience features, as well as safety features that address evacuation in case of fire. Other applications that would require commercial door hardware are common area doors, such as those in hotel corridors and certain public places. The hardware for common area doors will include a panic bar and a magnetic hold-open device. This device will trigger in the event of a fire, and seal off the common areas to inhibit the spread of fire. At the same time, the panic hardware will allow quick exit for the occupants. Commercial door hardware can be found on line and by visiting commercial door suppliers. For anyone that is considering replacing damaged or non-working door hardware, it is a good idea to consult with the building maintenance engineer prior to making any changes or purchasing any hardware.

What is the typical commercial door height?

R311.3 Type and size. The required exit door shall be a side hinged door not less then 3 feet (914mm) in width and 6 feet, 8 inches (2032mm) in height. The Michigan International Residential Code adopted the Commercial Uniform Code and both are referred to as code. It is a rare occasion that I see a commercial restaurant door or exit door that is under 84". I would say that Height would be more standardized than the minimum 80".
