Features of ADA Compliance
Since its inception in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has paved the way for improved accessibility. This includes creating door requirements that cater to the needs of disabled and non-disabled people, guaranteeing easy access for everyone. By outlining specific guidelines for door width, clearance, and handles, the ADA ensures that no one is left behind.
Wide Door Clearance
To allow entrance of people using crutches and wheelchairs, the door width standard on an ADA office pod is a minimum of 32 inches when the door is open to 90 degrees. Most ADA pods available in our range have a 36 inch width doorway, allowing ample space for comfortable entry for wheelchair users or other mobility aids. With wide door clearance and a low threshold, manoeuvrability is a breeze.
Full ADA compliance means the area within the office pod provides adequate interior space for wheelchair manoeuvrability.

Low Threshold
A lower threshold facilitates movement for people who use wheelchairs or other mobility equipment. Door thresholds that are ADA-compliant need the vertical height at no more than ¼”. For a little flexibility, a transition ramp can be added to allow for a vertical height of up to ¾”. All examples of an ADA Office Pod sim to comply with the standards set out by the American Department of Justice.
Easy To Use Door Handles
For door handles to comply with ADA standards, the handle should be between 34 and 48 inches from the floor surface, not the bottom of the door. The easy-to-use handles on each ADA Office Pod ensures ease of access for everyone. Users do not have to strain, twist or be positioned at awkward angles to open the pod doors, the easy-to-grab handle ensures effortless access. Designed specifically for those with mobility impairments, access to the pods has never been easier.
