AAMA 920-11,”Specification for Operating Cycle Performance of Side-Hinged Exterior Door Systems” has been revised and re-published by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association.
Though a side-hinged exterior door may be opened and closed a half dozen or more times a day, over a minimal period of time, the door system must remain intact and operable if it is to maintain its resistance to environmental conditions.
Updated from the previous 2003 edition of the document, the revised document includes a number of clarifications regarding the test specimen itself. In addition, the pass/fail criteria have been expanded to include many of the components used in a side-hinged exterior door.
