The distance a door is allowed to encroach into a hallway/corridor/exit way or path of travel out of the building. If a door opens on to a required exit width this video talks to how much it’s allowed to encroach. 7 inches is the max when the door is in its fully open position that it’s allowed to encroach. Otherwise if the door opens 180° the radius in which it opens that radius cannot encroach more than one half during that swing.

This video covers how and why stair doors and stairs may change in width. This is additional follow-up on the design of stairs from previous videos. This covers stairs coming from a vertical height also coming from a basement and how the door width will change at the exit landing.

This video focus on calculating exit inches required for doors and stairs. How they differ and how/why they are important to calculate.
I have taught myself something by producing this video. Never could figure out/remember was it .2 or .3 door or .2 or .3 for a stair. While putting this together I realized you come to a door before you come to stair. You come to .2 before you come to .3. —– .2 is for doors .3 is for stairs. I now no longer have to look this up every single time.
