Entryway and Front Door Safety
Your entryway sets the tone for how easily and safely you can enter and exit your home. Good lighting, clear walkways, and secure footing help prevent slips and improve confidence, especially during wet or icy seasons.
☐ Keep the entryway clear of shoes, bags, and clutter
☐ Ensure bright lighting inside and outside the front door
☐ Use a non-slip mat that stays securely in place
☐ Make sure steps, thresholds, and walkways are even and easy to see
☐ Install motion-sensor lights for nighttime visibility
☐ Use lever-style door handles for easier grip and operation
☐ Ensure the door opens smoothly without sticking or resistance
☐ Keep house numbers large and well-lit for visibility
☐ Provide a sturdy bench or seat for putting on and taking off shoes
☐ Clear ice, snow, leaves, or debris promptly to prevent slipping
