ABSTRACT An improved bathtub with a door for easy access by older and physically handicapped persons is disclosed. The bathtub includes an entrance wall with an opening which conforms to the shape of the door, and a front wall adjacent to the entrance wall. A seat is located in the tub with the forward edge of the seat located so as to provide a leg space between the seat and the front wall of the tub. The front edge of the door is attached adjacent to the front wall of the bathtub by means of a double axis hinge. When the door is opened, its front edge is guided directly inwardly in the tub by means of a tracking mechanism and the rear edge moves forward without any significant inward movement. In the fully opened position, the door is parallel to the front wall. The door is so configured that during movement it does not swing over the seat, and an occupant of the tub can be seated while the door is moved between its closed and open positions. The door contains a locking mechanism which can secure the door in a closed position. The door can also be secured in an open position, providing stable support for a person entering and leaving the bathtub.
