At Back Home Safely, we often meet clients who love their homes but struggle with one daily obstacle: the stairs. We completed a stairlift installation that not only restored safe access to the second floor but also solved a common challenge at the bottom of the staircase. For this project, we installed a Harmar Stairlift equipped with a power hinge feature. This upgrade made all the difference for our client and their family. The layout of the home included a doorway directly at the bottom of the staircase. A traditional stairlift rail would have extended into this walkway, creating a tripping hazard and blocking the door’s path. This is a situation we see often in homes, and it’s exactly where the power hinge feature becomes essential. The power hinge allows the bottom section of the rail to automatically fold up and out of the way when the stairlift is not in use.
