Dec 19, 2017might be more complicated than building code. Jetway doors have weird rules and PACS vendors have varying levels of competence in dealing with this. If you're transiting the Sterile Area there may be FAA rules, etc.
(And of course the critical thing for an airport is to game the door locks so you can't do something that causes a TSA fine.)
