Make the Closet Systems at Your Home in Marquette, MI, More Accessible
If you use a wheelchair, reaching items hanging on a high closet rod is often a challenge. Using a garment hook can be awkward, and some clothing items such as bulky winter coats may be too heavy to manipulate easily. But there is an alternative. At the Barrier Free Store, we can modify your closet systems to better suit your needs. Based out of Marquette, we are the Upper Peninsula’s go-to company for top-of-the-line products and expert installation services that allow homeowners to age in place comfortably and confidently. One of our representatives will be happy to visit your home to inspect your closet systems and offer suggestions on ways to make them more accessible. We offer a wide variety of products from Rev-A-Shelf ®, one of the most respected shelving and closet accessory manufacturers in the nation.
Bring Your Clothes to You With a Pull-Down Closet Rod
One innovative way to adapt closet systems so they better suit your mobility needs is by installing pull-down rods. Unlike fixed closet rods, these bars are built on a framework that allows them to pivot forward and down by 90 degrees, thus lowering all the clothes hanging on them to chair height with just a tug. Available in three sizes, these bars are capable of bearing up to 25 pounds and feature:
- Telescoping pull-rods that can be adjusted from 34 to 50 inches to ensure they’re always within easy reach from a seated position
- Smooth-gliding hinges that bring the descending closet bar to a gentle stop
- A side-mounted design
- Limited lifetime warranties
And to complete your new closet systems, we can install pants, belt, and shoe organizers, pullout baskets, valet rods, and more. We can also install drop-down kitchen shelving, usually in just a single day.
