Case Study: a fast food restaurant addresses bathroom door safety defects with Rimkus

Fast Food Restaurant bathroom door analysis with Rimkus finds closing speed under 3.0 seconds and opening force above 5.0 pounds

The fast food restaurant faced a challenge when a patron alleged that a bathroom door closed too quickly and injured her hand. They retained the vendor Rimkus to conduct a failure analysis and inspect the door for any defects or code deficiencies.

Rimkus experts inspected and tested the door, measuring its opening force and closing speed. Their analysis concluded that the door had two code deficiencies: its closing speed was faster than the minimum 3.0-second requirement and its opening force exceeded the maximum 5.0-pound requirement. Rimkus provided these definitive findings to address the customer's challenge.
