11B-404.2.4.3 Recessed doors and gates .

Maneuvering clearances for forward approach shall be provided when any obstruction within 18 inches (457 mm) of the latch side at an interior doorway, or within 24 inches (610 mm) of the latch side of an exterior doorway, projects more than 8 inches (203 mm) beyond the face of the door, measured perpendicular to the face of the door or gate.

[2010 ADAS] 404.2.4.3 Recessed Doors and Gates.  Maneuvering clearances for forward approach shall be provided when any obstruction within 18 inches (455 mm) of the latch side of a doorway projects more than 8 inches (205 mm) beyond the face of the door, measured perpendicular to the face of the door or gate.

[2010 ADAS] Advisory 404.2.4.3 Recessed Doors and Gates.  A door can be recessed due to wall thickness or because of the placement of casework and other fixed elements adjacent to the doorway. This provision must be applied wherever doors are recessed.

ETA Editor's Note

2013 CBC latch side clearance at exterior doors is more stringent than 2010 ADAS.

Figure (a) shows front approach at doors recessed more than 8 inches. Maneuvering space on the pull side extends 18 inches minimum beyond the latch side of interior doors, 24 inches minimum beyond the latch side of exterior doors, and 60 inches minimum perpendicular to the plane of the doorway.
Figure (b) shows front approaches at doors recessed more than 8 inches. On the push side of doors not equipped with a closer or latch, the maneuvering space is the same width as the door opening and extends 48 inches minimum perpendicular to the plane of the doorway.
Figure (c) shows front approach at doors recessed more than 8 inches. On the push side of doors equipped with both a closer and a latch, the maneuvering space extends 12 inches minimum beyond the latch side of the door and 48 inches minimum measured perpendicular to the plane of the doorway.
