Doors
Doors that open into the pool area
In Chandler, every door from the house or garage into the pool enclosure needs protection.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
The rule
Chandler's manual says exterior hinged or sliding doors leading from a dwelling, bedroom, garage, or storage room directly into a pool enclosure must be self closing or equipped with audible alarms. Hinged doors must open away from the pool area.
Self closing devices
Spring loaded hinges, pneumatic closures without stops, or approved sliding glass door closures.
Latches
A passage lock 54 inches above the floor, a double cylinder latch at any height if the door is not needed for emergency exit, or sliding door latches 54 inches above the floor.
Alarms
Alarms must be listed under UL 2017, sound when the door or screen opens, and have deactivation at 54 inches above the floor.
