Smallest Width For The Outside Door?
Does anybody know what is the narrowest allowed outside door? It will lead to the balcony-type deck with no fire escape.
Thanks for your help. |

Re: Smallest Width For The Outside Door?
If this is commercial, the size of the deck should determine the occupancy load and that should determine the minimum egress requirements.
If this is a residence and is not part of any egress path, there should be no minimum. |

No code book? See if you state has it online, we don't know where you're from so there is no way we can help you.

If it's not a required exit door, then there is no minimum size under the IRC. Quote:

Re: Smallest Width For The Outside Door?
I would assume that the door will provide for egress from the deck if there is no other way off....
