Beach front egress door.
ADA requires 8-1/2 pounds max of opening force.  Which, on the coast, is a
fine line adjustment, since wind can either blow the door open, or keep it
from closing properly.
Is there a code requirement for closing speed and force? Or is opening
forces the only criteria?  I¹m concerned with winds slamming doors closed,
especially in gusting situations.

Thank you.

Eric
