Controls

Push buttons or plates and switches are subject to relevant requirements for controls and operating mechanisms, including the maximum 5 Ib operating force. Recommendations: Buttons and plates should be raised or flush and at least ¾ inch in diameter (as specified for elevator control panels). Consider push plates at least 3 inches in the least dimension since they do not require fine motor coordination or visual acuity to operate. Clear floor space at controls should be located outside the door swing.
