Doors In Stair Landings
Don't forget to follow
the minimum stair landing width
building code.
When the door has been opened as far as it can, the maximum distance
from the finished wall to the farthest point of the door can't be more
than 7 inches.
This wouldn't apply to doors that swing into the building, only doors that open into the landing space or area.

If this stairway and door are part of an emergency exit, the door might
require special hardware. Most emergency doors require panic hardware
that can be opened easily into the main flow of traffic exiting the
building, during an emergency situation.
Attention: Don't forget to check with
