A: The transfer flaps on the bath lift fold inward as the lift as it lowers into the tub. The "hinge" is protected so pinching should not be an issue. Some models such as the Bathmaster Deltis , Bathmaster Sonairs 2 XL and Drive Medical Whisper bath lift allow the transfer flap on the wall side of the tub to be removed without affecting the cover of the bath lift.
A: The Bathmaster Deltis bath lift will fit most standard sized bath tubs.
The length of the tub floor should be considered, if the tub is short for a shower enclosure, and the individual is tall, you 
will be limited in the ability to recline in order to move the bath lift to the back of the tub for additional legroom. In addition, if there is any texture on the bottom of the bath tub we recommend you try a suction cup on the bottom of the tub prior to purchasing (like a suction cup grab bar) to ensure the suction cups of the bath lift will adhere to the bottom of the tub.
Please feel free to call us to review the measurements of the tub. We have included our Important Factors for selecting the proper bath lift below.

1. Measure your bathtub to determine what size lift you should buy. Measure the bathtub’s depth, width, and length 
to determine which size of bathtub lift will fit in your bathtub. Take into consideration the user’s weight and make sure that the bath tub lift you order will accommodate the needed capacity.
2. Think about what kind of installation you’ll be able to complete. Some bathtub lifts may require a professional installation; our bath lifts are assembled and installed in less than ten minutes and without any tools. Furthermore, they use suction cup attachments to hold the lift in place while in use; therefore, make sure that the surface of your bathtub is compatible with suction cups. Some textured surfaces may not be compatible with a suction cup; the surface must be flat and non-porous.
3. Consider how you want your bathtub lift to be powered. Bathtub lifts are either water powered or battery powered; water powered bath lifts raise the bather by filling and draining water in a bladder under the seat portion of the lift, while battery powered bathtub lifts use rechargeable batteries to lift and lower the seat. Most battery powered bathtub lifts will not lower unless they have enough battery power to raise up again, so regular charging is recommended for reliable use. Some, such as the Bathmaster Deltis Bath Lift with Blue Cover and Premium Charger, allow approximately six lifts from one full charge and can be fully recharged in just one hour.
4. Think about whether you’ll need any additional accessories for your bathtub lift. For example, will the bather need a transfer device to get to the middle of the bathtub lift seat? Does your bathtub lift have a padded backrest and seat? Will you need any extra batteries or a headrest? Consider these extras before you make your final decision about which bathtub lift to purchase.
