| | MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. SHEET 007 A.020, THE EXIT PATH FROM THE WEST DOORS |

| | LANDSCAPE. |
| | |
| | 2. SHEET A.605, INDICATES A DOOR SCHEDULE; HOWEVER, A |
| | COLUMN IN THE TABLE REFERENCES A HARDWARE PACKAGE. I |
| | HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SHEETINDICATING THE |
| | HARDWARE PACKAGE INFORMATION. |
| | |
| | 3. SHEET A-101, INDICATES DOORS 151.1, 152.1 & 132.1, |

| | MORE THAN 7 IN. INTO THE REQUIRED WIDTH OF AN AISLE, A |
| | CORRIDOR, A PASSAGE WAY, OR A LANDING, WHEN FULLY OPEN, |
| | UNLESS BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET: |
| | (1) THE DOOR OPENING PROVIDES ACCESS TO A STAIR IN AN |
| | EXISTING BUILDING. |
| | (2) THE DOOR OPENING MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS THAT LIMITS |
| | PROJECTION TO NOT MORE THAN 7 IN. INTO THE REQUIRED |
| | WIDTH OF THE STAIR LANDING WHEN THE DOOR LEAF IS FULLY |
| | OPEN. |
| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE. |

| | HARDWARE. PER NFPA 101 SECTION 7.2.1.5 THE LOCK/LATCH |
| | RELEASING MECHANISM ON ALL DOORS SHALL OPEN THE DOOR |
| | WITH NOT MORE THAN ONE RELEASING OPERATION. THE |
| | RELEASING MECHANISM SHALL HAVE AN OBVIOUS METHOD OF |
| | OPERATION THAT IS READILY OPERATED UNDER ALL LIGHTING |
| | CONDITIONS. THE RELEASING DEVICE SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF |
| | BEING OPERATED WITH ONE HAND AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE |
| | TIGHT GRASPING, TIGHT PINCHING OR TWISTING OF THE WRIST |
