@sarahtoddhammer: Accessible door buttons need to be more durable and treated kindly so they do not break! The buttons breaking on my college campus is all too common and should not be the regular occurrence that it is. [Video Description: ST and Jen, two disabled young women, are on screen. ST pushes the accessible door button, and the doors don’t open. Jen does the same thing. ST then tries to open the door manually and so does Jen. Text on screen reads “Accessible door buttons on my college campus not working”; “I have arm and hand paralysis, so I cannot open heavy doors”; “The accessible door buttons ensure that everyone (including non-disabled people!) can easily enter and exit a space”] #DisabilityTikTok #DisabilityAwareness #Accessibility
The worst part is automatic doors w no power are HARDER to open than regular doors 😭

that's a hazard waiting to happen. What if there's a fire and nobody to help you get out??

Is this not a fire hazard? Like you should be able to call the fire Marshall and report it.

I push the door buttons almost every time and notify someone if they’re not functional

They should replace the push bars with the kind that do the same thing as the button. Like you push slightly and they open automatically

I'm able-bodied, but I have loaded the catering supplies for events and working buttons are a real asset

Oy! with the poodles already :
Are they breaking or is the power to the accessible button being turned off when they close at night? The power needs to be turned off when the business/building is closed. If it's left on &...

This is so frustrating, I’m sorry. Research who runs the operations department at your school. Call them each time this happens and ask for them to come open the door for you.

I understand this. Buttons need to be working at all times.

Idk about this college but my campus runs on fumes so people have to report things to facilities for them to get fixed. I personally used to check things in the building I worked in to submit tickets

My college shut off the disabled buttons an hour before the doors themselves locked. Kids would get trapped inside
