Have you ever been trapped behind an unlocked door? Thanks to my paralyzed hands, I have. The rubber palms on The Gloves usually get me out of that bind after a few tries.
Have you ever been delayed behind an unlocked door while you had to set your bag or basket of groceries down to open the door a crack before picking it back up and entering? Everybody has.
This is just one more example where technology as simple as a lever door handle can help everyone out. It doesn't need to be some obvious, ugly modification that sticks out like a sore thumb. It simply needs to be something that works well for everybody and the industry will make it attractive in appearance. Not unlike flat light switches.
Thankfully, both flat light switches and lever door handles are far more common and make the lives of disabled people so much easier while conveniently making other people's lives a little bit easier when their hands are full.
