Accessible Closet Upgrades Checklist

Use this checklist to upgrade your closet for easier reach, improved comfort, and everyday accessibility.

Lower Hanging Rods

• Install a rod 30-36 inches from the floor for daily clothes.

• Add a second rod above for extra storage or shared use.

• Use a pull-down closet rod for high areas you still want to access.

Open-Shelf Storage

• Remove closet doors for better access.

• Use clear bins or open baskets for organization.

• Label containers to minimize guesswork.

Roll-In or Side Access

• Widen closet entry by removing trim or door stops.

• Replace swing-out doors with sliding doors or curtains.

• Reconfigure storage to be reachable from a side-facing or partial roll-in position.
