Appendix G. Door Construction Standards Doors

Doors must be equipped with heavy-duty builders’ (durability grade) hardware, (Building Hardware Manufacturer’s Association [BHMA]) Grade 1 used throughout. The BHMA developed a grading system for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). So, you might see “ANSI Grade” or “BHMA Grade” or even “ANSI/BHMA Grade”. ANSI or BHMA use the same grading system. A Grade 1 system provides the highest level of security.

All exterior perimeter doors and those interior doors through which the FM restricts access will be fitted with any BHMA Grade 1 system that accepts a universal 7-pin removable and interchangeable core that can be changed without disassembling the entire core; or BHMA Grade 1 equivalent electronic lock cylinders and programmable smart key systems.

All exterior doorways with exposed hinges, and those interior doorways identified by the IPS, must be modified to prevent unauthorized access through removal of their hinge pins. Hinges must be replaced with Non-removable pin hinges or the doorway modified in another manner approved by the IPS.

Be made of solid, close, or tight grained wood, steel or employ sheet metal/metal clad 14gauge (.0747 inches) or thicker (13-gauge to 3-gauge). Fire rated steel doors normally meet this requirement.

Glass doors will have tempered glass or American National Standards Institute rated burglary resistant glass used or an equivalent film or laminate applied (glass embedded with wire mesh may also be used).

All perimeter and critical operational area double doors must be equipped with a full-length astragal (see Figure 13-G, below) or other sealing mechanism to prevent prying and manipulation or defeat of the locking hardware. Doors employing rim latch hardware and an interior mullion (see Figure 14-G, below) are exempt from this requirement. Other double door configurations which are protected from a prying attack may be approved by the IPS and documented in the facility security assessment report.

G-2

Figure 13-G Example of full-length astragal

Figure 14-G Example of Rim Latch Hardware with Interior Mullion

All perimeter and critical operational area single leaf doors must be equipped with a latch guard (see Figure 15-G, below) unless the door/frame design protects the strike from tampering. Latch guards must fully protect all exposed electric strikes on exterior doors, and interior critical area doors as identified by the IPS. Determination that a latch guard is not required, must be made by the IPS, and documented in the facility security assessment report.

G-3

Figure 15-G Example of a Latch Guard

Have substantial door frames in keeping with door construction.

Perimeter doors equipped with electronic or electro-mechanical entry systems must be designed to remain locked from the outside (to prevent ingress) during power loss but still allow emergency exit for personnel. Designers must adhere to local and national fire and safety codes and standards, as applicable, which supersede this requirement.

Unless prohibited by governing life-safety codes, doors designated for emergency exit must be equipped with automatic door closing devices (e.g., pneumatics door closer/hinge), and exiting hardware (e.g., “crash bar”). Doors designated for emergency only egress must annunciate when employed. FSL 2 facilities and above must annunciate to a central point within the facility when the door is activated. FSL 1 facilities may annunciate locally.

Unusual door designs such as rolling (garage-type) or sliding doors, and those that cannot be secured as indicated above, will be secured as directed by the IPS.

The exterior doors on Mobile Air Traffic Control Towers and Deployable Air Traffic Control Facilities will be mechanical cipher and keyed locks.

Appendix H. Common Door Types and Door Schedules

General Notes:

1. Doors are shown from the outside. Dotted lines indicate devices located on the secure side of the door, where applicable.

2. The regulatory signage and hardware devices identified below indicate those generally required to meet operational and security requirements. Certain devices may not be applicable to every opening. For example, electric strikes would not be used on frameless doors.

3. Refer to the Door Schedules below for a list of applicable security countermeasures, by FSL.

4. The use of deadbolt locks is optional for additional security.

5. Double doors will have one of the doors secured at the top and bottom with 1-inch deadbolts. An astragal strip will be attached to one door (could be either the secured or the movable door depending on the inward/outward swing of the door assembly).

6. Perimeter doors and critical operational area doors must be equipped with latch guards or be designed to protect the latching hardware from tampering.
