"Offset door hinges" - aha! - thanx! About the extra clearence I believe you simply get back whatever the open door now "eats" - so that depends - but the doorframe next to me right now would gain about an inch.
You also gain the advantage of not so easily scratching your doors with the wheelchair - so don't wait too long - I know I did! susanne, denmark PS: I just noticed that something I wrote earlier in this thread could be understood in more than one way.

I meant to say: Some ways to go for a narrower chair: - No pushrims. This is an option if it's only for indoor use. - No armrests, or backfitted armrests. This will fit a larger bottom into a narrower chair. (Which BTW also helps with the problem that some people find the backrest to be too wide and thus unsupportive, when the chair fits their bottom.)
