Doors are frequently inconvenient to people who are burdened or lack physical agility or strength. This report describes a study undertaken at DBR/NRC to determine the difficulties that arise in the use of doors. The study comprised the evaluation of current research, field observations and a series of laboratory tests. In the last, the ease of opening doors depending on differential air pressures, mechanical closures and latching hardware was assessed.Les portes posent souvent un probl\ue8me lorsqu'une personne est charg\ue9e ou manque de force et d'agilit\ue9 physiques. Ce rapport pr\ue9sente l'\ue9tude entreprise par la DRB/CNRC sur les difficult\ue9s que peut cr\ue9er l'emploi des portes. L'\ue9tude portait sur l'\ue9valuation de la rec...
