Chapter 11B, Division 4 (Accessible Routes) 

Maneuvering Clearances at Recessed Doors and Gates

11B-404.2.4.3 Recessed doors and gates. Maneuvering clearances for forward approach shall be provided when any obstruction within 18 inches (457 mm) of the latch side at an interior doorway, or within 24 inches (610 mm) of the latch side of an exterior doorway, projects more than 8 inches (203 mm) beyond the face of the door, measured perpendicular to the face of the door or gate.

Figure 11B-404.2.4.3 Maneuvering Clearances at Recessed Doors and Gates

Dimension lines at Figure 11B-404.2.4.3 updated to reflect recess measurement from face of door rather than face of wall. Note that there is no change to the related code language at Section 11B-404.2.4.3; the code language already required measurement from the face of the door.
