Low-profile thresholds
Shallow grooved profiles for bridging small changes between adjacent floor surfaces.
Ramps & Access
Ramps, Access & Reach
Access Without Barriers
Ramps, thresholds, accessible door fittings and wardrobe lifts designed to make movement and everyday reach easier throughout the home.

Reachable wardrobes
01
Internal and external access
Solutions for doorways, steps, pathways and room transitions.
02
Portable or leave-in-place
Choose temporary, relocatable and modular access systems.
03
Low-profile transitions
Bridge small level changes without creating unnecessary bulk.
04
Safer door operation
Accessible locks, pivot hinges and emergency-release fittings.
05
Reachable wardrobe storage
Manual and electric rails bring hanging clothes within reach.
Access is a complete journey
Good access should continue beyond the front door
A property can have an accessible entrance and still contain difficult thresholds, obstructive doors or storage positioned beyond a comfortable reach range.
Our range addresses movement into, around and within a space: overcoming steps, smoothing floor transitions, improving door operation and bringing high-level wardrobe storage down towards the user.
Step-free movement
Smooth transitions
Emergency access
Comfortable reach
Better use of space

Start with the obstacle, available space and intended use
Ramp selection depends on more than the height of a step. Consider the available approach distance, doorway arrangement, user, mobility equipment and whether the system will be portable, relocatable or left in place.
01
Measure the vertical rise
Record the height from the lower surface to the landing,
sill or top of the obstruction.
02
Measure the available approach
Check the usable distance in front of the doorway or
step, including turning and landing space.
03
Consider how it will be used
Account for the user, wheelchair or scooter, assistance,
frequency of use and whether handrails are required.

Ramp Calculator
Use rise, available distance and gradient to estimate the
relationship between the key ramp measurements.

Choose the ramp format
Different barriers require different access systems
The best format depends on the size of the level change, how frequently the ramp will be used and whether it must be moved, stored or remain outside.
01
Door Threshold Ramps
Compact systems for timber, uPVC and other raised doorway thresholds where the level change is relatively localised.
Explore threshold ramps → 02Full-Width Portable Ramps
Folding and non-folding ramp platforms that provide a continuous surface for wheels and walking users.
Explore portable ramps → 03Channel Ramps
Separate tracks for wheelchair or scooter wheels, including telescopic and folding configurations for transport and storage.
Explore channel ramps → 04Relocatable External Ramps
Leave-in-place systems that provide a stable approach while retaining the option to remove or relocate the ramp later.
Explore relocatable ramps → 05Modular Ramp Systems
Longer configurable systems with platforms and optional handrails for entrances requiring a more substantial access route.
Explore modular ramps →
Small level changes can still create daily barriers
Select the profile around the adjoining floor heights,
direction of travel, traffic and whether water containment is
also required.
Floor transitions
Bridge smaller changes without installing a full ramp
Low-level thresholds can create a smoother transition between different floors, doorways and wet or dry areas where the change in level does not require a larger ramp system.
Explore low-level thresholds →Doorway safety and operation
Door furniture can affect reach, privacy and emergency entry
Accessible door fittings can make controls easier to operate and allow a bathroom or toilet door to be opened from the opposite direction during an emergency.
Toilet Door Locks & Latches
Accessible lock controls, indicator sets and emergency releases for domestic and commercial bathroom doors.
Explore locks and latches →
Pivot Door Hinges
Pivot sets and hinges that allow compatible doors to swing in either direction when required.
Explore pivot hinges →
Push-In Door Stops
Emergency-release frame stops that can be depressed to allow a compatible pivot door to open in the opposite direction.
Explore emergency stops →
Use the full height of the wardrobe
Store clothing at standard or elevated positions, then lower
the complete hanging rail towards the user when required.
Accessible wardrobes
Bring hanging clothes down into reach
Fold-down wardrobe rails can make high-level hanging space usable for seated users, people with a limited reach range and interiors where vertical storage needs to be used efficiently.
Access across different environments
From entrances and wet rooms to bedrooms and wardrobes
Access products can support movement between spaces, emergency procedures and everyday use of storage in domestic and professional settings.
Homes & Entrances
Threshold, portable and modular systems for front doors, rear access, patios and internal changes in level.
Bathrooms & Wet Rooms
Compressible floor barriers, accessible locks and emergency door-release components.
Bedrooms & Dressing Areas
Manual and electric wardrobe rails for seated users and high-level storage.
Housing & Commercial Projects
Durable access systems for adapted housing, care, hospitality, education and workplace environments.
