Door Widening for Wheelchair Access in Rockville, MD
Wider doorways for wheelchairs and walkers — across Rockville, Potomac & Silver Spring.
A standard 24–28 inch doorway won't clear most wheelchairs. NextDayJose widens interior doorways across Rockville, Silver Spring, and Bethesda so wheelchairs and walkers fit through comfortably — reframing the opening and rehanging a wider door, or adding swing-clear hinges when a couple of extra inches is all you need. Locally-owned, 13+ years, licensed and insured.
We start with the lowest-cost fix that works: swing-clear (offset) hinges add roughly 2 inches of clearance for a fraction of the cost of reframing. When you need a true 32–36 inch opening, we reframe the wall, install a new wider door, and patch and finish the surrounding drywall and trim. Pair it with lever hardware for the easiest passage.

- Reframing openings to 32–36 inches

Fitting Wheelchairs Through DMV Homes
Older Montgomery County homes are full of narrow bathroom and bedroom doorways that a wheelchair simply can't clear. Before we reframe anything, we check whether swing-clear hinges get you the clearance you need — the cheapest fix that often does the job.
When a wall has to open up, we confirm whether it's load-bearing, handle the framing safely, and leave the drywall and trim clean and paint-ready. It pairs naturally with bathroom accessibility and a ramp at the entry.
