I’m here in J-town, just outside Louisville KY. My Dad is wheelchair bound and we’re trying to fix up the house a bit for him. The bathroom doors are a problem — everything else (even closets) is 30″, but the bathroom doors are 28. The WC doesn’t quite fit without taking off some paint.
I need to get some offset hinges — probably even 1/2″ of offset would let the door sit closer to the wall and clear the chair (though 3/4 would be better). Does anyone know of a source of offset hinges in the Louisville area, or, failing that, a good mail-order place for them. Lowes doesn’t seem to have them.

Dan,

I have their catalog sitting here, and they sell a pair of 2" offset hinges for about $25. These should get the door completely clear of the jamb. catalog part # DL2010.
