Critical Appliance Clearance Variables

Unlike soft sofas, refrigerators are rigid metal boxes that offer absolutely no flexibility through narrow doors. When evaluating pathways, remember these professional staging protocols:

• The 1-Inch Safety Buffer: Standard safety rules suggest having at least 1 inch (25mm) of extra space relative to your doorway width to protect drywalls and avoid scraping the appliance chassis.
• Door/Handle Breakdown: If the unit's total depth exceeds the entry point, look up the manufacturer specs for depth with handles or front doors completely detached. Most delivery services can remove these during staging.
