What is required when a fire exit door is required leaving a stairwell?

  1. Panic hardware and a door light with Georgian wired glass.

  2. Panic hardware a door closer and a rated door.

  3. Panic hardware, a door closer and a rated door and frame.

  4. Ball bearing hinges and a door closer.

The correct answer is: Panic hardware, a door closer and a rated door and frame.

A This option only mentions panic hardware and a door light. Although these may be necessary, they are not the only requirements for a fire exit door. B: This option mentions panic hardware and a door closer, but it does not mention a rated door. Without a fire-rated door, the fire exit door may not provide enough protection in case of a fire. D: This option mentions a door closer, but it does not mention panic hardware or a rated door. Panic hardware is necessary to ensure quick and easy evacuation in case of an emergency, and a rated door is required for fire safety. C: This option includes all the necessary requirements for a fire exit door leaving a stairwell. Panic hardware, a door closer, and a rated door and frame are all important for ensuring the safety of building occupants in case of a fire.
