Local conditions
Calgary region weather and your doors
Chinook winds can swing temperatures by twenty degrees or more in a day, and summer hailstorms are common. Those freeze-thaw swings make frames move, latches bind and weatherstripping wear out faster.
Chinooks mean repeated freeze-thaw cycles, so an entry door that fits in a cold snap can bind a day later. We set gaps and weatherstripping to work across the whole range, and use fibreglass or insulated steel doors that stay stable.

Barrier-free requirements in High River
High River follows the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition, in force across Alberta since May 1, 2024. These are the barrier-free door requirements we're asked about most.
Power door operatorsArticle 3.8.2.7.
Power door operators are required at barrier-free entrances (including the inner door of a vestibule), at many doors along a barrier-free path to suites or rooms served by a public corridor, and at the entrance to any washroom with a barrier-free water closet. There are exceptions, so check how they apply to your building.
Universal washroomsArticle 3.8.2.8.
Where washrooms are provided on a storey that needs a barrier-free path, at least one universal washroom is required, with exceptions such as washrooms inside residential suites. The universal washroom door must be lockable from inside with a closed fist, have an emergency release from outside, and, because the room has a barrier-free water closet, have a power door operator.
Door hardwareSentence 3.8.3.6.(4) and Clause 3.8.3.8.(1)(b)
Handles, latches and locks must be mounted 900 to 1 100 mm above the floor and work with one hand in a closed fist, without tight grasping or twisting. In practice that means levers, push/pull hardware or panic bars rather than knobs.
This is a plain-language summary, not the code itself. Requirements depend on the building's occupancy, size and whether the work is new construction or an alteration. Confirm them with your designer and the local authority having jurisdiction. More on barrier-free code in High River.
