Common Installation Solutions

1st Floor to 2nd Floor Stairlifts

Accessing your second floor should be simple and safe. Our straight stairlift solutions are designed to fit your home exactly as it is today. One of the most common questions we get is about existing handrails—the good news is that they do not need to be removed. We simply install the lift on whichever side offers the best clearance, whether that is a left-hand or right-hand fit (referenced while looking up from the bottom of the stairs). By choosing the correct side, we ensure the lift glides past your current rails and walls with plenty of room to spare.

For homes where the staircase ends near a doorway or in a high-traffic narrow hallway, we highly recommend a manual flip hinge rail. This clever space-saving feature allows you to manually fold the bottom section of the rail up and out of the way when the lift is parked upstairs. It eliminates tripping hazards and keeps your floor space clear, making it the perfect choice for active households where every inch of hallway counts.

Basement to 1st Floor Stairlifts

For many homeowners, the basement is the "workhorse" of the house—it’s where the laundry gets done and often serves as the main entry point from the garage. We believe that carrying heavy baskets or groceries shouldn’t be a safety risk. Our basement stairlift installations are designed to handle these daily tasks with ease, ensuring you can navigate your home’s utility levels without strain.

A common concern with basement stairs is the door at the top of the landing. Because we custom cut our rails to the exact specifications of your stairway, your basement door can remain on its hinges and be used exactly as it always has. You won’t have to sacrifice privacy or climate control to gain accessibility. Additionally, your existing handrails do not need to be removed. We simply determine if a left-hand or right-hand installation (referenced while looking up from the bottom) provides the best clearance.

Outdoor Stairlifts

Our outdoor stairlifts are engineered to provide reliable access, no matter what the weather brings. Built with specialized, weather-resistant materials, these units are designed to withstand the changing seasons—from summer heat to winter snow. Whether your home’s entrance features a wooden deck or solid cement steps, we can securely anchor the rail to nearly any surface to ensure a stable, vibration-free ride.

For added peace of mind, every outdoor lift comes with a custom-fitted weather-proof cover to keep the seat and controls clean and dry when not in use. We also prioritize your home’s security; each unit features a built-in lock-out key switch, allowing you to disable the lift to prevent unauthorized use.
