Door knob grips and handles, also known as door lever extensions or adaptive door hardware, are accessibility accommodations designed to make opening doors easier for individuals with limited hand strength, dexterity, or mobility challenges. These devices replace or augment traditional round door knobs with larger, easier-to-grip handles or lever-style grips that reduce the effort and twisting required. They are especially helpful for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other conditions affecting hand function. By providing a more ergonomic and user-friendly way to operate doors, door knob grips and handles promote independence and safety in both home and workplace settings.
To set up door knob grips or handles, first measure your existing door knob to select a compatible model. Installation typically involves slipping the grip over the knob or replacing the knob with a lever handle. Regularly clean and inspect the hardware to maintain smooth operation and prevent loosening. Encourage users to practice using the new handles gently to build confidence and comfort. Periodic adjustments may be needed to keep the device secure and functioning well.
