Kitchen Sinks So much kitchen work is done at the sink that you must be comfortable working at yours. If it's impossible to replace the sink, removing the cabinet doors below it will provide knee space for a person sitting in a wheelchair or on a low stool. (The water pipes must be insulated to protect legs from a cold or hot pipe.) A garbage disposal can be repositioned further back or off to one side. When not using the sink, you might cover the opening with a removable panel or curtains. It's also helpful to replace the faucet with a single-lever handle for easier, one-handed control. Some faucets are no-touch faucets that have sensors to sense hands below them, then water flows for a programmed amount of time you specify. A spray nozzle reaches far to rinse off dishes or clean fruits and vegetables. If you can replace your sink, buy a shallow one that slopes in front for easy access. Often, a sink can be repositioned a little higher or lower, eliminating the need to replace it.
