HOME ACCESSIBILITY
Wider doorways & automatic doors in Calgary
Move through a doorway with less effort, including voice-controlled options.
Discuss your projectStart with the person and the place
Door access involves more than a clear opening. We review the threshold, hardware, swing, approach space and safe operation. Where suitable, an automatic opener can be considered with smart-home or voice control, including Alexa compatibility after product assessment.
What to think through
- Check the entire approach and clear opening.
- Choose controls accessible to the person using the door.
- Plan power, manual override and safe operation before choosing automation.
How we approach it
Tell us what feels difficult today and share photos or measurements if you have them. We can then discuss the route, the existing construction and the range of possible changes. Specific equipment, feasibility and scope are confirmed after assessing the site.
Questions about this solution
Can Alexa open an accessible door?
Some compatible door operators can integrate with voice assistants. The exact product, safety settings and installation must be assessed first.
Will changing hinges make enough room?
Sometimes offset hinges help, but they cannot resolve every narrow doorway or poor approach.
Does a smart lock automatically open the door?
No. A smart lock only handles locking. Moving the door itself requires a compatible operator and an appropriate control and safety setup.
What if the power goes out?
Manual operation and power-loss behaviour depend on the chosen hardware. This should be checked in the product specifications and reviewed during planning.
Can a patio door be made easier to use?
Potentially. Clear width, threshold height, operating force and space beside the door should all be reviewed before choosing hardware or replacing the door.
