Panelboard behind door
Panelboard behind door
(OP)
Is there anything in the NEC that prohibits mounting a panelboard behind a door? This is the only wall space left in a small room. With the door closed there is plenty of NEC required clearance in front of the panel. The door obviously prevents anything from being stored there. Does anybody else ever do this?

2. Provide a door sign to read "Open slowly!".

4. Provide door with glass viewing panel.
There are many possible fixes, I'd still get the AHJ's input.

That sort of "flagging" on a plan review of items that do not agree with personal preferences of the reviewer but do not violate the code cost a lot of time and money.

How do you feel about panels in shallow closets where the closet door must be open to provide the required working clearance?

Code or no code it's a no brainer for me.
