Over-door hook on resort door

[nickthenuke]

Will an over-door wreath hanger, such as the one below, fit over a resort room door, specifically Poly? In general, does Disney allow guests to hang door decorations, like wreaths and such outside resort doors?

The POS states no.. DVC sent a letter to owners reminding them of that although that's now close to a decade ago.
Of course people still do it. I keep any decorations in the room where only we can see it.

Keep in mind also that hotel room doors are required by Code (IBC and NFPA) to be both fire and smoke resistant. That smoke resistance requires that the door be self-closing with positive latching and there are limits on the volume of air allowed ("air leakage") to pass through/around the door assembly (many also require smoke gaskets that expand under heat to further seal the door). Anything that interrupts the positive seal of the door around its perimeter defeats the Code-compliance as it increases the volume of air leakage.

Not too mention ... these hooks tend to scar / scratch the doors ... so just adds to the wear and tear of the room aesthetic ...

Thanks for the feedback, folks. Would it be better to use an adhesive hook, like a Command hook?

That’s amazing since a lot hotels I have stayed at have like a 1/2 inch gap under the door to the hallway.

True, but that is calculated into the air passage numbers.

The gap sizes around swinging doors can influence the fire and smoke spread through fire rated construction. The current standard (i.e. NFPA 80) prescribes that the bottom gap be no larger than 3/4 in. (19.05 mm), and the side and top gaps be no larger than 1/8 in. (3.175 mm) — with an additional 1/16 in. (1.59 mm) over-tolerance for steel doors and 1/3-hour rated wood doors installed in hollow metal doorframes.

There are entire studies on this stuff. Here's some reading when you run out of melatonin:
