Referencing NEC 110.26 C and C3 and 110.33 A and A3. If there are two access doors (one double door for equipment and a single 36" door) are both doors or just the single door required to have panic bars? 110.26 C and 110.33 A 1 a is being met with regards to unobstructed to exit. Both doors have unobstructed means for exit. Question is: are panic bars on the single doors sufficient to meet code? or are both the single and double doors required to have panic bars.
Thanks for your input.

What code cycle applies to this facility? If it is 2008, then I would say that only the single door needs the panic hardware, and then only if that door is within 25 feet of the working space.

Charlie,
Thanks for your post. It is 2008 code and yes, the door way is within 25' of the equipment. Appreciate your input.
