Reversing a fridge door for an elderly customer in Ash
Fridge-freezer door reversed for an elderly customer in Ash: it now opens back against the wall, so reaching inside is much easier. A Wingham handyman job.
A village job
Out in the villages, older residents often have a longer wait for help with the small things. This was one of those: a customer in Ash, elderly and not very strong or mobile, whose fridge-freezer door was opening the wrong way for them.
What we did
We reversed the door to open the other way. That means taking it off carefully, moving the hinge fittings to the opposite side and hanging it again so it's square and seals well. Then we checked it swung freely and opened back against the wall, so reaching inside is much easier.
The difference it makes
It wasn't a big job, but it will be used several times a day for years. For someone who finds movement and lifting harder, an appliance that opens the right way is one less thing to deal with.
Country and village jobs welcome
