Some ways to go for a narrower chair: No pushrims is an option if it's only for indoor use. No armrests, or backfitted armrests will fit a larger bottom into a narrower chair. Some ways to go for a wider door: A special kind of door hinges, that makes the door swing totally out of the frame - don't remember the name. Last resort: Pull down door AND door frame - put a sliding door if you absolutely need one. > Back to the slide board. I do not think it is possible > to > slide board > transfer onto a tub bench.

Checked my gurus - here is how they do: http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=6770&highlight=slide+board+tub http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=67285&highlight=slide+board+tub So yes, some do use slide boards for this. I also read this: "Do not use Dycem.
