Category: Doorway Threshold Ramps

Doorway threshold ramps bridge the small but stubborn step at an entry door, from a 0.5-inch tile transition to a 6-inch raised sill. Every guide in this category starts with the rise: measure straight up from the lower floor to the top edge of the threshold, then choose a ramp built for that exact height so its top lip sits flush instead of creating a new bump. We compare beveled solid rubber ramps, which are heavy, quiet and stay put without fasteners, against modular aluminum ramps, which are lighter, adjustable and better suited to taller rises.Slope is the number that decides how easy a ramp is to roll up. Divide the ramp’s depth by its rise: a 24-inch-deep ramp on a 2-inch threshold is 1:12, the maximum running slope the ADA Standards allow for accessible ramps, while shorter 1:8 or 1:6 ramps trade extra climbing effort for a smaller footprint. We also check usable width against standard 30-, 32- and 36-inch doorways, and compare published weight ratings for manual wheelchairs, power chairs, walkers, robot vacuums and hand trucks.
