Stairlift hinged rail
Our stairlift assessor will discuss your stairlift options with you during your free no-obligation stairlift survey.
In some staircase layouts, where the stairlift rail extends beyond the foot of the stairs, it could prevent an adjacent door from opening or closing and is likely to be a trip hazard. When this happens, we will look to install a hinged rail – a safety feature where the bottom section of the stairlift rail folds back upon itself, removing the obstruction and any possible hazard. The operation of the folding hinge can be done manually, but we’d always recommend the automatic option.
