32 in of clear width, measured with the door open 90° from the face of the door to the stop (2010 ADA Standards, 404.2.3). Where the opening is more than 24 in deep, 36 in.

Is a 32 in door enough?
Not usually: the open door and the stop take some of the width, so a 32 in door gives less than 32 in clear. Measure the clear width.
How do I gain width?
Offset (swing-clear) hinges swing the door out of the opening, so clear width becomes stop to stop: 30 in might become 31.8 in.
