Self closers are a matter of taste (not a bad idea) but were not seen as necessary by the experts who draft the national codes

The IRC and UBC codes for self closing garage doors are on IRC 309.1 and UBC 302.4x

I belive that CA is still on older UBC based codes that would require a self-closing door per UBC 302.4X


The majority of the country now follows the IRC, which does not require a self-closing garage door (per R309.1)

Robert:


I thought Calif. recently adopted NFPA 5000 as their building code?
perhaps only in certain counties and not state wide.

Russell … I understand that CA has only proposed the adoption of the NFPA model codes (mixed in with some ICC model codes) slated for 2007. But hold the phone, Arnold just may “terminate” that … icon_lol.gif
