AccessLine – Modular Track Cover for Sliding Door Accessibility

AccessLine – Modular Track Cover for Sliding Door Accessibility - open-source assistive technology prototype by the Ichilov hospital community

About this project

AccessLine is a modular, 3D-printed solution that removes the mobility barriers created by sliding door tracks. Designed for people using wheelchairs, walkers, or trolleys in rehabilitation centers, public spaces, and private homes, it transforms uneven, obstructive rails into a smooth, continuous path for safe and independent movement.

The system works by covering the track with a flexible-yet-rigid printed surface that bridges height differences and gaps without interfering with door function. Each piece connects securely using wooden dowels, creating a stable, customizable pathway.

The challenge

Sliding door tracks often create small but significant obstacles for people using walkers or wheelchairs. In rehabilitation settings and private homes, these rails disrupt safe, independent movement. AccessLine removes this barrier, ensuring smooth and acc
