Print Article: “How to order an EntryLevel™ Landing
Step 1: Determine the height of the threshold. Make sure to measure at three locations:
* The hinge-side
* The strike-side
* The center of the door
Please Note: Often these will be the same height, however if they are slightly different, choose the lowest of these three measurements (you can always use shim-stock to build-up where necessary).
Step 2: Determine the type of landing and approach your project requires.
There are three basic types of landing configurations.
* One-sided
* Two-sided
* Three-sided
Please Note: In most cases a three sided landing is required, however, there are instances where a structural impediment exists, like a wall or curbing where side ramps are not needed (please see our Design Tool for more options).
Step 3. Now that the height has been determined, next
you will specify the:
* Length (From side to side) &
* Depth
(From front to back)
of the maneuverable
level surface.
the level surface area is typically:
* 60″(L) x 48″(D)
* 60″(L) x 60″(D)
* 60″(L) x 72″(D)
However, custom sizes are available.
The dimensions listed above will satisfy most single and double door configurations. There will be instances that require custom sizes. Simply contact our in-house EntryLevel™ Landing experts for assistance.
