Would you mind sharing the law.
I did not know there was a law which prevented me from installing a doggie door. Is it a misdemeanor or a felony? Do cops have sting operations set up at Petsmart?
Hi Brian,
LOL…I guess I should have said it is in “violation of codified law” & not to most Building & Fire dept. code for openings to attached garages.
Thanks
Hi Christopher,
This is the code as I know it:
R302.5.1 Opening protection. Openings from a private garage directly into a room used for sleeping purposes shall not be permitted.
Other openings between the garage and residence shall be equipped with solid wood doors not less than 13/8 inches in thickness, solid or honeycomb-core steel doors not less than 13/8 inches thick, or 20-minute fire-rated doors, equipped with a self-closing device.
Thanks
