With the passage of Americans with Disability Act 1990, the term can be used to focus on doors speacicifically designed for people with special needs. Today, public and private buildings generally must offers access doors for people with disabilities.

How Door Closers Operate
Manual closers store energy used to open the door in a spring and releases it to close the door. Most doors closers use oil filled dampers to limit the spend the door closer. The door travels slower as it starts to close and travels faster at it finishes assuring the door is latched.
An automatic door closer opens the door when triggered by push a button, motion detector, etc. The closer is normally powered by low electrical voltage system. When it closes, it can detect when it is safe to close the door.
Uses For Door Closers
Door closers are often installed on fire doors, to assure they close in order to prevent the fire and smoke from spreading. They are also used to help maintain a room temperature and to allow disable persons to operate them.
Description of Panic Device
A panic device (also known as a crash bar) operates by pushing on it to unlatch and open a door. Most public building have a panic device as part of their fire exit plan. They are usually designed with a horizontal metal bar on the side of a door that opens toward.
Most doors with a panic device can only be opened from inside.
Most building codes don't allow owners to alter and emergency exit door; however, some buildings owners hire unqualified security
companies or locksmiths to make changes to increase security or decrease pilferage. At best, this can result in a violation of life-saving building code and in the worse case, it can result in deaths and/or lawsuits. Building codes have very specific requirements to assure life safety is met so everyone, including a child, can safely exit a building even with no light.
Description of Fire Device
Fire devices are labeled as such the locks must be self closing and self latching, so the door must have a door closer and a latch whenever is closed. Normally, fire doors aren't used on outside doors because they are designed to contain a fire within one part of the building.
