Modify Outside doors to open easily

Postby flagman1776 » 15 Feb 2018, 16:40

We are remodeling. We live in a cold winter climate so we need something weathertight. The plan is to add a "mudroom" entryway. I'd like to make the outside door openeable from a scooter (now) or Power Chair (future). A sliding door would reduce the size of the entry room. Does an electronic opener exist?

Yes. And they are infrared controlled. Where from no idea. But thelatest PG joystick can likely use its built in infrared controller to open it.

They are common and inexpensive nowadays , US$250.00 .

Swinging door is far superior to a sliding one , when comes to weather exclusion .

Swing arm type:
