What height requirements apply to ADA-accessible lockers?

The ADA Standards for Accessible Design (Section 225) require that where lockers are provided, at least 5% (or one, whichever is greater) must be accessible. Accessible lockers must: have their door hardware within the 15"–48" reach range for side approach or 15"–54" for forward approach; have a clear floor space of 30" × 48" in front; and use hardware operable with one hand without tight grasping or twisting. This typically means accessible lockers are on the bottom tier of a two-tier bank or a full-height single-tier unit, and use lever-style or push-button hardware rather than knob-style locks.
