Doors in offices that don't pull your arm off trying to open them

by Lili1, 22 January 10

For Architects, British Standards and Fire Regulations to come up with much more manageable doors in office buildings. Difficult to open when you are either in a wheelchair or crutches. I understand the need for fire proof doors in but the majority of door closers are set too strong - they nearly pull your arm off. I think the regulations need a more universal approach. Not many buildings have the push button door openers throughout. 

Idea

Good question, need to find out first why they are designed as they are and then assess how it can be challenged and come up with something much more user friendly.
