Okay, follow-up question to yesterday:

In a high wind environment, is it more important to have HC push-pull limits
complied with, or more practical limits to prevent the wind from keeping the
doors open, or slamming them closed?

My sense is that the structural integrity during wind events, having the
doors on strong enough closers to hold them closed, is more important than
the ease of HC entry and exit.

Maybe Mr. Schnieder can address this.

I have a door that slammed shut in a high wind event (40mph winds, with
added gusts), and injured someone.  I¹m helping to analyze, and assign
blame, if there is any.
Does anyone accept the fact that accidents do happen, and no one really
responsible?  Or are we just too Œsue¹ happy?  Rhetorical, I¹m sure.

Thanks.

Eric
