Handicap Accessible Door Widening Services
Enhancing Accessibility Through Door Widening
At Handi-Bath Remodeling, we recognize that standard doorways can be a significant barrier for individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. Our ADA compliant remodeling and door widening services are designed to enhance accessibility in your home or business in Nassau & Suffolk County, ensuring that every entryway meets the needs of those with mobility challenges.
Customized Door Widening in Long Island
Standard doorways are typically 28-32 inches wide, which are often insufficient for individuals using wheelchairs or walkers, which generally require at least 36 inches of clearance. Our team provides tailored solutions to widen doors throughout your property, addressing the specific needs of each space while ensuring ADA compliance with accessibility standards. Whether you need one door widened or several, we carefully assess each door way to determine the best approach that balances both form and function.
Interior Doors
We widen interior doors to improve access to rooms such as bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, making daily activities more convenient and independent. This is especially important in homes where space constraints make maneuverability difficult.
Exterior Doors
Our services also include widening exterior doors to ensure easy and safe entry and exit from the building. A properly widened exterior door not only provides mobility aid users with more comfort, but also improves the overall safety and accessibility of your property.
Sliding Doors
For areas where traditional swinging doors are impractical, we can install wider sliding doors that provide ample space and ease of use. Sliding doors offer the added benefit of conserving space while still maintaining full accessibility.
Safety and Functionality Combined
Our door widening services incorporate essential safety features to ensure that each modified doorway is not only more accessible but also safer for all users.
Reinforced Frames
We reinforce door frames to maintain structural integrity and ensure long-lasting durability. A reinforced frame prevents sagging or warping over time, maintaining the strength of the doorway even with heavy use.
Smooth Thresholds
We install low or flush thresholds to minimize tripping hazards and facilitate easy movement across different areas. This is crucial for those using wheelchairs or walkers because uneven thresholds can pose a significant safety risk.
Appropriate Hardware
We equip widened doors with accessible handles and locks that are easy to operate for individuals with limited hand mobility. Lever-style handles are an excellent option we offer as they require less grip strength and can be operated with minimal effort.
