Doors have long since been a simple “opening” or “fenestration”. Doors are “portals”; nodes on the geometry of the Internet of Small Things. There are 100’s of thousands of these nodes on any single college, university or school district. First costs run from $1000 per door in a classroom to $100,000 per door in hospitals with maintenance and operation costs commensurate with complexity of the hardware and software needed to maintain integration of the door with building security and energy systems.
We find the bulk of best practice identified in the catalogs of the following accredited standards developers for the United States construction markets:
ASTM International
Conflicting Requirements of Exit Doors
Standard Practice for Installation of Exterior Windows, Doors and Skylights
Repair Methods for Common Water Leaks at Operable Windows and Sliding Glass Doors
Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association
International Code Council
International Building Code Chapter 10:
Chapter 24: Glass and Glazing
Accessibility Requirements (Referenced from ICC A117.1)
Energy Efficiency (Referenced from IECC)

The US federal government and all 50-states adapt safety and sustainability concepts from the foregoing publishers; either partially or whole cloth.

It's all about those little details, folks! How cool is this hand-finished brass hinge??! It's one of our favorites.
