Door into Garage



The glass in the door is a breach in the integrity of the door

Sections of the raised panels in the wood door are not 1 3/8 in thickness

 

The door to the garage does not meet the current safety requirements for separation from a garage.  It should be replaced with a door that meets these requirements.

 

From the 2006 IRC.
R309.1 Opening protection. Openings from a private garage directly into a room used for sleeping purposes shall not be permitted. Other openings between the garage and residence shall be equipped with solid wood doors not less than 13/8 inches (35 mm) in thickness, solid or honeycomb core steel doors not less than 13/8 inches (35 mm) thick, or 20-minute fire-rated doors.
