Easy Hinge

In order for the seat to get low enough for the user to sit on, it is necessary for the track to extend beyond the staircase to the lower floor level. Or in some cases, there may be a doorway close to the bottom of the stairs and the track may intrude across this. In these circumstances a hinged track should be installed. This means that the track can be folded away from the doorway giving clear access.

The Easy Hinge allows for the bottom portion of the rail to be lifted up out of the way of any doorways or passageways when the stairlift is not in use. It works with the assistance of a gas strut, meaning that operation is as easy as possible.
