No more lifting the wheelchair over the front-door weather bar

Many front and back doors have a raised weather bar or doorstep of around 5 cm. If you push someone in a wheelchair, you know the routine: tip back, bump, and hope nobody's tea goes flying. If you walk with a stick or frame, that lip is where toes catch. The Enable Access Doorline Threshold Wedge in the 5 cm size replaces the bump with a short, firm slope.

It is 27 cm deep, weighs 2.3 kg and is designed to be left in place, so it quietly does its job every day without being noticed.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Takes the jolt out for carers
  Wheel straight over a 5 cm lip instead of tipping the chair back, which is easier on your back and much more comfortable for the person sitting in it.

• Fewer catches and trips
  A gentle edge instead of an upstand helps if you shuffle, use a stick, or have a frame with small front wheels.

• Compact 27 cm depth
  Sits neatly on most doorsteps without sticking out into the path.

• Light at 2.3 kg
  Simple to lift for cleaning or to move from one door to another.

• Designed to stay in place
  Leave it down permanently, so access is always there for you, visitors and carers.

• Rated to 350 kg (55 st)
  Copes happily with electric wheelchairs and scooters as well as manual chairs.

• Easy to keep hygienic
  Can be fully sanitised and pressure-washed with heat.

Who it suits best

• Carers pushing a wheelchair through a door with a raised weather bar
• People who walk with a stick or frame and catch their feet on the lip
• Homes, surgeries and care homes with a low threshold

Worth knowing before you buy

Check the lip really is about 5 cm. Below that, the 4 cm wedge will sit flatter, and above it the 7.5 cm size is the better fit. If your threshold height is in between sizes, an adjustable wedge can be set to match. A wedge covers one lip or step — for a run of steps you will need a longer ramp.

Questions customers ask us

Will it stop me tripping on the doorstep?
It removes the upstand edge that toes tend to catch, which many people find makes stepping out feel steadier.

Can I look at one in the showroom?
We don't keep every size in stock, so give us a call first and we'll check. If it isn't in, we can usually arrange a demo model.
