How codes affect our business The use of many products is code-driven: Which doors require panic hardware? What hardware must be used on a fire door? Where can delayed egress locks be used? Codes affect the selection of almost every hardware item: Fire doors must have hardware that is approved for use on a fire door assembly, often including gasketing. Doors on an accessible route must meet accessibility guidelines in some cases both A117.1 and the ADA. Electrified hardware is covered by 7 different code sections within the IBC and NFPA 101. 14 | Decoded 1 Intro and Accessibility
