What to prioritize first
If you can only do one thing, replace a heavy or sticking entry door with a lighter, well-balanced door and a low-threshold sill. Uneven thresholds and heavy doors are among the top fall and access risks in the home for anyone over 65.
- Low-threshold entry doors
- Lever-style hardware instead of knobs
- Properly anchored grab rails near steps (not suction cups)
- Wider doorway clearance
- Lighted, non-slip entry mats
- Smart lock or keypad entry for easier access
- Wider transition thresholds instead of raised saddles
