Wide doorways are essential for wheelchair users to navigate through the home easily. Standard doorways can be too narrow, making it difficult for wheelchairs to pass through. Our team can widen your doorways to meet accessibility standards, ensuring smooth and safe passage throughout your home. This modification not only improves mobility but also enhances the overall flow and functionality of your living spaces. “Wide doorways are a simple yet impactful change that can greatly improve daily life for individuals with mobility challenges,” says Pedro Ormeno.

Offset hinges and pocket doors are effective solutions for creating more space in narrow doorways. Offset hinges allow doors to swing open wider, while pocket doors slide into the wall, eliminating the need for a swinging door altogether. Our team can install these features to maximize space and improve accessibility in your home.

Traditional door knobs can be difficult to operate for individuals with limited hand mobility. Lever-style door handles are easier to use and require less effort to open. We can replace your existing door knobs with lever handles, making it easier for everyone in your home to access rooms independently.
