Gate Latch Opener
thingiverse
Despite the low risk of contracting Covid-19 from touching a gate while walking, there is still some risk involved. To minimize this risk, I designed a gate opener that makes it easier to open gates without having to touch them. Simply use the tool to lift the latch or push/pull the gate slightly open with your foot, then move the tool to either push or pull the gate fully open. You can also use the tool to operate the gate for anyone accompanying you. Alternatively, you can make one for each person in your group. To assemble the gate opener, you'll need a dowel handle and a screw to attach it to the shaft. I've added heat shrink to my creations, but this step is optional. The STL files for 14mm, 15mm (GateLatchOpenerV7.stl), and 16mm (5/8") shafts are included for your convenience.
