However, it is equally important as a barrier between the garage and living space. It all comes down to safety. The <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.iccsafe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Code Council (ICC)<\/a> has established the criteria for garage entry doors in section <a href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/s\/IRC2021P2\/chapter-3-building-planning\/IRC2021P2-Pt03-Ch03-SecR302.5#:~:text=Other%20openings%20between%20the%20garage,%2Dminute%20fire%2Drated%20doors%20.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">R302.5.1 of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC).<\/a> They are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em><strong>Fire Resistant Door &#8211; <\/strong><\/em>According to the ICC, the garage entry door must be &#8220;equipped with solid wood doors not less than 1-3\/8 inches (35 mm) in thickness, solid or honeycomb-core steel doors not less than 1-3\/8 inches (35 mm) thick, or 20-minute fire-rated doors.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Self Closing Door &#8211; <\/strong><\/em>The door must also be capable of closing on its own. It&#8217;s inevitable that resident(s) will forget to securely close this door from time to time.

We look for this as well. Some doors in older homes can be solid wood but not actually fire-rated. This is a good thing to note.<\/p>\n<p>While the IRC does not technically require sufficient weather stripping to be present around the door, this is something we always check for. The door should fit snuggly into its frame, with all openings sealed off tightly with weather stripping. This would help to keep out any smoke or fumes\u00a0 in the case that a fire occurs in the garage space. Furthermore, if a car is running in the garage, the weather stripping can prevent carbon monoxide or any other harmful gases from entering the home. Make sure that door frame seal is tight!<\/p>\n<p>The inspector will also evaluate the steps leading from the living space to the garage, if present. Steps should be intact, level and in good condition. We usually also recommend a handrail, as well, if there are multiple stairs descending into the garage. Furthermore, if the garage entry door opens directly over steps, our inspectors will often recommend installing a landing to prevent any accidents from occurring. Although having a landing is a good safety precaution, it is not required by code.<\/p>\n<p>While we aren&#8217;t code inspectors, many of these code requirements are built upon safety, and are things we like to call out during an inspection. Keep in mind that codes have changed over the years and the occupant doors in older homes may look and operate very differently from doors installed with newer standards.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you have any more questions about garage entry doors, you can send us an inquiry through our<a href=\"https:\/\/scotthomeinspection.com\/ask-your-inspector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <em><strong>Ask Your Inspector<\/strong><\/em><\/a> program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Book with Scott Home Services!<\/h2>\n<p>If you are in need of any inspection services, don&#8217;t hesitate to contact <a href=\"https:\/\/scotthomeinspection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scott Home Services<\/a>!
