The minimum width of a doorway in a means of egress to accommodate a person in a wheelchair is
The minimum width of a doorway in a means of egress to accommodate a person in a wheelchair is 32 inches (813 mm). This is based on the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the International Building Code (IBC), which both specify that doors in a path of egress and doors on an accessible route must have a clear opening width of at least 32 inches (813 mm) 12. This width allows enough space for a person in a wheelchair to maneuver through the doorway without difficulty. A wider doorway may be preferable for some types of wheelchairs or other assistive devices, but 32 inches (813 mm) is the minimum standard for accessibility and safety.
