What are the standard dimensions for wheelchair accessible doors?

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the unobstructed width of an accessible door in a non-private building must be at least 32 inches (or 815 mm), with the door opened to 90 degrees.
The height of the door is not addressed in the ADA. Most local codes require any door in a public or newly constructed building to be at least 6 feet and 8 inches high (2032 mm.)
Additionally, a door accessible to those with disabilities must not require a push greater than 5 pounds-force (22.2 Newtons), applied at 30 inches from the hinge, in order to open the door.
In general, a door fit for a 36 inch rough opening, and without an aggressive self-closing device, would fit the requirement.
