Is a unified, expertly designed accessibility solution for sliding doors. While aesthetically pleasing in design, sliding glass doors present a substantial obstacle for loved ones who use wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, or other mobility devices. In addition, wheelchairs and scooters can damage the center track of a sliding glass door by bending or distorting the channel in which the door travels.
The Sliding Door Threshold Ramp has a 750 lb capacity and creates a smooth, continuous platform over the tracks. The surface of the aluminum ramp features HandiRamp’s patented non-slip raised buttons that ensure superior traction and safety, which is especially important when the outdoor section may be wet from a rainstorm.
The Sliding Door Threshold Ramp rests on the floor and/or deck on each side of the door’s track, meaning it does not have to be assembled and moved every time it is needed. The hinged crossover bridge acts as a sturdy platform that can be folded down for smooth passage through the threshold or folded up and out of the way in order for the sliding doors to fully close without having to remove the ramp.

How to Choose the Size of Your Sliding Door Threshold Ramp
HandiRamp’s Sliding Door Threshold Ramp consists of three major parts. In order to purchase the threshold ramp that meets your sliding door’s unique specifications, it is essential that the pieces correspond to the measurements of your sliding door’s thresholds on both the interior and exterior of the home.
Part One: Threshold Ramp Outdoor Section
This part sits on the outdoor side of your sliding door and measures 30 inches wide. The crossover bridge is connected to this ramp with a hinge.
The length of the threshold ramp varies based on its rise to ensure it has a gentle, usable slope. The length measurements are listed in the “Specifications” tab on this page.
The threshold ramp is available in 9 rises from 1 inch to 9 inches. To ensure that the threshold ramp functions properly, measure the rise of the outdoor threshold from the ground. Also, measure the rise of the sliding door tracks from the ground. The rise of the threshold ramp should clear both the threshold rise and the sliding door tracks rise.
Part Two: Threshold Ramp Indoor Section with Lip
This part sits on the indoor side of your sliding door and measures 30 inches wide. The crossover bridge rests on the lip of this ramp when deployed for passage.
The length of the threshold ramp with lip varies based on its rise to ensure it has a gentle, usable slope. The length measurements are listed in the “Specifications” tab on this page.
The threshold ramp with lip is available in 9 rises from 1 inch to 9 inches. To ensure that the threshold ramp functions properly, measure the rise of the indoor threshold from the ground. Also, measure the rise of the sliding door tracks from the ground. The rise of the threshold ramp with lip should clear both the threshold rise and the sliding door tracks rise. NOTE: These measurements are often different from the outdoor ramp measurements because the threshold rise is usually lower indoors.
Part Three: Crossover Bridge
The crossover bridge is the hinged surface that is attached to the threshold ramp and sits on the lip of the indoor threshold ramp when in use. This piece sits between the opening of your sliding door and hovers over the sliding door tracks.
Since sliding doors open at different widths, the crossover bridge is available in 4 widths: 23”, 25”, 27”, and 29”.
When deciding how wide you need the crossover bridge to be, open your sliding glass door and measure how wide it will open. It is essential that the crossover bridge fits within this opening. It is also important to measure the width of the mobility device(s) that will be used on the threshold ramp to ensure your loved ones will have enough clearance to enter.
To decide how long the crossover bridge should be (length from each ramp over the door threshold), measure the length between each edge of the door’s threshold.
Measuring Your Sliding Door for a Threshold Ramp
Before selecting the dimensions of your sliding door threshold ramp, it is important to collect a few measurements from your sliding door threshold to ensure your ramp will fit and function properly. For this part, you’ll need a tape measure as well as a level to help you get the most accurate measurements.
Key Measurements needed to order your Sliding Door Ramp
Measure the interior height – Measure from the floor to the top of the interior threshold, including the sliding door tracks.
Measure the exterior height – Measure from the ground to the top of the exterior threshold, including the sliding door tracks. This measurement is usually different from the interior threshold height.
Measure the opening – Measure how wide the sliding glass door opens away from the door jamb. This measurement determines how wide the crossover bridge will be.
Measure the gap – Measure the length of the gap between the furthest edges of the interior and exterior thresholds, over the tracks of the sliding door.
After you’ve collected the measurements from your sliding door threshold, you’ll use them to determine the dimensions of your ramp. When choosing from the drop-down menus for each of your ramp pieces, make sure to select each measurement to the next inch from what you collected. For example, if your indoor threshold measures 3.5 inches in height, select 4 inches for your indoor ramp section height. This will ensure that your ramp will fit and function correctly.
