Expandable Door Hinge

I must admit that I was skeptical when I ordered these hinges. However, faced with the need to widen two doorways in my parent's home to permit the easier passage of a wheelchair, and the remodeling costs that would be involved, I took the plunge. The hinges appear to be well made, fit perfectly, installed easily, operate smoothly, and most importantly they do increase the functional width of a doorway by a couple of inches. That's all I needed, so they met my expectations completely. For those who have never installed a door hinge, it is easy to convert these hinges for use on either side of the door. The pins are fluted, and offer some initial resistance, but they can easily be tapped out and installed in the other direction. These hinges will not be mistaken for designer items, but they are acceptable in appearance.

These are great, basically moves the door completely out of the way leaving the entire frame space un-obstructed. The wheelchair goes through with enough room to spare! Highly recommended and easy to install!

The door to my bathroom made it impossible to enter with a transfer chair without scratching and mauling the door. I considered having the enterence widened, but the cost was prohibitive. These hinges turned out to be the greatest solution and at a bargain price! The door now opens flush with the frame and although the fit is still a bit tight, I no longer scratch nor gash the door when entering. They fit perfectly, the only installation difficulty I had was removing the old hinges.
