Swing clear offset door hinges
Swing clear offset hinges were recommended by our wheelchair technician to widen our doorway clearance. This was a great way to give Steve a couple more inches of room to get through his bedroom and office doors. It helped reduce the damage to the doorways. Steve still hit the doorways; he needs to drive better.
