Openings in sidewalks provided for in Section 24.65.010 shall be supplied
with doors attached to a frame built into the sidewalk and shall be capable of
supporting a load of 100 pounds per square foot. The door shall be constructed
of sheet steel or other approved metal which has an approved non-slip surface.
The dimensions of the door in any direction shall not exceed the dimension of
the opening by more than 6 inches. The doors and frames shall be so constructed
and maintained that there is no projection above or below the sidewalk exceeding
1/4 inch and existing doors which do not conform to the requirements shall be
changed to conform within a period of 10 days after notice is given to change
the same. Sidewalk doors shall be provided with a metal guard which, when the
doors are open, will hold the doors open. This guard shall be located on the
side of the sidewalk opening nearest the property line. The guard shall be made
in the form of a grating with openings not exceeding 6 inches in dimension and
so arranged that a child cannot get under or through the guard. This guard shall
not be required for doors having metal gratings which are level with the
sidewalk when the doors are open and the elevator platform is below the sidewalk
level. Such gratings shall be capable of supporting a load of 100 pounds per
square foot. Elevators having these sidewalk gratings shall be provided with a
3/4-inch steel bar to hold the doors open.
