How ADA Compliance Service Works

From a first facility assessment to full door replacement, RCI Doors™ evaluates the whole opening against ADA and ANSI A117.1 accessibility standards.

RCI Doors™ checks clear opening width, door hardware, closer force and timing, thresholds, signage, and automatic operators against current accessibility standards.

2

Quote the Compliance Path

You receive a clear recommendation for hardware upgrades, threshold changes, automatic operators, or full door replacement based on the specific compliance gap, fine exposure, and long-term cost.

3

Install & Verify

RCI Doors™ technicians complete the work and verify clear opening width, closing force, and hardware operation before closeout.

Why ADA Compliance Matters for Business Doors ADA Violation & Complaint Response

ADA Compliant Door Assessment, Installation & Service

RCI Doors™ services the full accessible opening: door width and clearance, hardware, closers, thresholds, signage, and automatic operators, evaluated together rather than one at a time.

The ADA requires every business and public building to provide barrier-free access for visitors, employees, and patients. A door that looks fine can still fail compliance for reasons that are easy to miss day to day: a closer calibrated a few pounds too heavy, a threshold that has settled above a half inch, or a round door knob installed years before anyone thought about ADA hardware rules.

RCI Doors™ assesses, installs, and upgrades commercial doors across the Triad and Charlotte metro areas to close those gaps and keep the opening compliant. Facilities across North Carolina, from corporate offices in Charlotte to healthcare and government buildings across the Triad, rely on RCI Doors™ to evaluate accessible routes and bring non-compliant doors up to standard.

An ADA compliance gap is not a cosmetic issue. First violations carry a fine of up to $75,000, with subsequent violations fined up to $150,000. A facility-wide assessment identifies the gap before it becomes a fine, a complaint, or a lawsuit.

Common ADA Door Compliance Issues RCI Doors™ Fixes

RCI Doors™ addresses the specific hardware, width, and force issues that most often put a commercial door out of ADA compliance.

Round Door Knobs

Round knobs require gripping and twisting, which violates the ADA's one-hand, no-tight-grasping operation requirement.

Excessive Closing Force

Closers set above ADA force limits make doors difficult or unsafe for people with limited strength or mobility to open.

Clear Opening Under 32 Inches

Frame, hinge, and door thickness combined can leave less than the required 32 inches of clear passage.

Worn or Failed Thresholds

Settling and wear can push a threshold above the 1/2 inch maximum, creating a trip hazard for mobility devices.

Missing or Non-Compliant Signage

Rooms and exits without correct Braille and raised-character signage fail ADA identification requirements.

Automatic Operator Failure

A malfunctioning automatic operator can turn an accessible entrance back into an inaccessible one.

6 Warning Signs Your Commercial Doors Need an ADA Assessment

Small hardware and clearance issues quietly turn a compliant door into a liability.

1
Door Requires Two Hands or a Tight Grip to Open

Round knobs and thumb-turn deadbolts violate the ADA's one-hand operation requirement.

Don't ignore this
2
Door Closes Too Fast or With Too Much Force

An out-of-calibration closer creates injury risk along with a compliance failure.

Don't ignore this
3
Clear Opening Measures Less Than 32 Inches

Frame or hardware encroachment can shrink the usable opening below the ADA minimum.

Don't ignore this
4
Threshold Sits Higher Than 1/2 Inch

A settled or worn threshold becomes a trip hazard for wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility devices.

Don't ignore this
5
Automatic Operator Doesn't Respond Reliably

An automatic door that sticks, delays, or fails to open fully undermines the accessible entrance it is meant to provide.

Don't ignore this
6
Missing or Incorrect Braille Signage

Restrooms, exits, and other required spaces without compliant signage fail ADA identification standards.

Don't ignore this

Frequently Asked Questions About ADA Compliant Doors

Have an ADA Compliance Question Not Listed?

RCI Doors™ can assess the full opening and recommend the right fix for your facility.

Call 336-626-5125 Schedule Estimate
ADA standards require a minimum clear opening width of 32 inches for accessible doorways. In most cases, this means installing a 34 or 36 inch door, since the door itself and its hardware reduce the usable opening. A 36 inch door is typically recommended because it reliably provides the full 32 inches of clear space once door thickness and frame are accounted for.
Yes. The ADA applies to any door used by the public or by employees, not just building entrances. This includes doors to restrooms, conference rooms, corridors, break rooms, offices, and other shared spaces within a facility.
Round door knobs are one of the most common ADA compliance issues because they require gripping and twisting, which violates the ADA's requirement for one-handed operation without tight grasping. Thumb-turn deadbolts and any hardware that requires two hands to operate can also create compliance problems.
Not in every case. A manual door with compliant hardware and a properly calibrated closer can meet ADA requirements. Automatic operators are typically added where opening force cannot be brought within ADA limits manually, at high-traffic accessible entrances, or where a facility wants a higher level of accessible access than the manual minimum.
RCI Doors™ installs and services AAADM-certified automatic door operators for healthcare facilities across Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheboro, and the surrounding Triad, evaluated for the accessible-route and patient-traffic requirements specific to healthcare settings.
Handicap accessible is the common way people describe what the ADA calls an accessible door: one that meets requirements for clear opening width, one-hand operable hardware, calibrated closing force, and a low-profile threshold.
At a minimum, ADA door compliance should be checked once a year, and again after any renovation, remodel, or change in how a space is used. Door closers can drift out of adjustment, hardware can loosen, and buildings naturally shift.
Failure to comply with ADA requirements can result in significant fines, with a first violation fined at up to $75,000 and subsequent violations fined at up to $150,000. A facility-wide door assessment is the most direct way to find and fix compliance gaps before they turn into a fine or complaint.
Yes. RCI Doors™ services major commercial door hardware and automatic operator systems regardless of who originally installed them, so a facility does not need its original installer on file to get an assessment or repair.
Yes. RCI Doors™ can provide assessment findings and completed-work documentation on request for property managers, facility directors, and compliance records.
