K.I.S.S. is the best policy, always.
I bought 2 openers because they were only $150 each and I didn't know if 1 would do it until I got into tailoring it to her.
I measured her butt to determine how big to make the seat then the size of the seat determined how close it could be to the wall and still swivel. Even after she could make it up the stairs on her own, she'd use it at the end of the day or to carry the laundry. When it wasn't needed anymore, I removed it and she removed me.
