Whether you\u2019re moving a bed, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myfirstapartment.com\/2022\/11\/how-to-safely-move-a-couch-between-apartments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">couch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or a large appliance like your refrigerator, getting it stuck in the doorway can be frustrating and damaging, so read on below to learn how to tell if your doors are wide enough for your furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always measure first<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before moving any piece of furniture you aren\u2019t sure will be able to fit through the doors, it\u2019s always worth taking the time to measure. Measuring beforehand will let you avoid the sticky situation of getting a furniture piece wedged in the door halfway through with no way to get it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your apartment has multiple entrances, measure each of them individually. While two doors might look the same size, an overlooked two-inch difference between them could be the difference between you getting your furniture in or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remove legs and take things apart<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even if it\u2019s a close fit and you think you\u2019ll most likely be able to get something through, it can\u2019t hurt to remove legs or other removable pieces beforehand. This will give you more leeway when moving through your doors, so you won\u2019t necessarily have to worry about carrying everything perfectly straight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furniture items that can be easily taken apart are very convenient, so take advantage of this when possible. If you do, be sure to put all related hardware in a bag and label it so you can easily find everything when you go to put your furniture back together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take doors off if need be<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If removing the legs or other pieces of your furniture just isn\u2019t quite enough for something to fit, you can always squeeze in a little more space by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Remove-a-Door-Hinge-Pin#:~:text=1%20For%20the%20sake%20of%20stability%2C%20take%20off,with%20your%20hand%20and%20pull%20it%20out.%20\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">removing your door<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. There are several ways to do this, but you\u2019ll most likely find that it\u2019s easier to remove and reinstall doors if you take them off by removing the hinge pins instead of unscrewing the hinges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To do this, place a Phillips-head screwdriver underneath the hinge with the tip pressing up into the bottom of the hinge pin. Use a hammer to knock the hinge pin out through the top. It can help to have someone else with you to hold the door steady so it doesn\u2019t start falling down once you\u2019ve removed one or two of the pins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take note of other obstructing features<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The doors might not be your only obstructing features with getting furniture into your apartment, so pay attention to anything else that could cause difficulty. If you have two possible entrances and one has a narrow hallway past it while the other is wide open, the second will probably be your best bet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plan for the future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving furniture isn\u2019t much fun no matter which way you slice it, so plan for the future and make things easy on you in future moves by purchasing furniture that\u2019s easy to haul. If you have a specific piece that\u2019s always a pain to move, consider swapping it out for something lighter, less bulky, or with more removable parts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myfirstapartment.com\/2022\/12\/moving-are-your-doors-wide-enough-for-your-furniture\/\">Moving: Are Your Doors Wide Enough for Your Furniture?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myfirstapartment.com\">My First Apartment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little bit of planning beforehand can save you a lot of headache when it comes to moving, and especially moving large furniture.
