Can horizontal glass sliding doors be used as the entrance to a suite in a health care occupancy?
I realize that corridor doors should normally latch. Are these considered "powered doors" that don't require mechanical latching in the corridor by the NFPA 101?
A manual or powered sliding door may be allowed, if it is not part of the means of egress. Doors in a corridor may require latching if the corridor is to be smoke protected and/or fire rated.
It is very difficult to look at one door without the context of the entire building.
