Questions
Common questions
Do swing-clear hinges really make a doorway wider?
Yes. A standard hinge leaves the door itself sitting in the opening when open. A swing-clear (offset) hinge swings the door completely clear of the frame, which typically gains about 2 inches of usable width — frequently enough for a walker or wheelchair to pass comfortably.
Do I need a new door?
No. Swing-clear hinges use your existing door — no new door or framing. That is why it is a quick install with minimal disruption.
Which doorways benefit most?
Bathrooms, bedrooms, and hallways — the doorways a walker or wheelchair needs to pass through every day. Kevin looks at your doorways at the consultation and tells you which ones are worth widening first.
How long does it take?
It is a quick install with minimal disruption, usually done in a single visit. Kevin confirms the timing for your doors at the consultation.
What does a hinge job cost?
Kevin measures your doorways, talks through how many doors, and confirms your exact price in plain language at the in-home consultation, before any work starts.
Not sure if this is the right fix?
That’s exactly what the in-home consultation is for. Kevin comes to your home, measures your actual tub, walls, or doorway, and recommends only what you actually need — in plain language, with no obligation to book. He confirms your exact price at the consultation before any work starts.
