Adjustable Closet Rod Extender

We love this closet rod extender because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we regularly find step stools hiding in the closets of the very people who should never climb one. How do you make a closet accessible without remodeling? Lower the clothes, not the closet: this extender hangs from your existing rod and drops the hanging height to where you can actually reach. The bar adjusts in width from 18 to 32 inches in 2-inch increments, the height adjusts in 1-inch increments, and no tools are required, so you can set it up in minutes and move it if needs change. It is especially valuable for wheelchair users, people with shoulder arthritis or limited overhead reach after a rotator cuff injury, and anyone with balance problems who should stay off stools. Measure your closet first to confirm an 18 to 32 inch span fits; if grasping the hangers is the harder part, a Rotating Reacher may help more than lowering the rod.
