The purpose of the door pull mounted on both sides of the stall door is to assist those with limited arm strength to open and close the door. The pull should be located close to the latch side on both the inside and outside surfaces of the door. Pulls mounted close to the latch side require less strength to pull the door open or closed than a pull located close to the hinge side.
The door pull should consist of a D-shaped handle mounted horizontally. The centre lines are the lines drawn through the long axis and the short axis of the handle. In the horizontal position, the centerline of the short or transverse axis must be located at between 200 mm and 300 mm from the latch side of the door, and the long or longitudinal axis must be located between 900 mm and 1 100 mm from the floor.
