GripSafe Door Opener

The GripSafe Door Opener is a versatile device designed to open various types of doors, including those with door knobs, handles, and heavy-duty doors found in stores and office buildings. This innovative gadget achieves its goal through the use of three distinct components: a door knob claw, a door handle hook, and flat push heads. To operate the door knob claw, place it against a circular doorknob, not a door handle. As you apply pressure, the claws will gradually bend back until they can fit around the knob. Once secure, simply turn the knob and pull to open the door. The claw was engineered to match the dimensions of standard circular door knobs for a seamless fit. Using the door handle hook is a straightforward process. Hook the device around the handle and mimic the motion you would use to open the door without assistance. Once turned fully, release the opener by simply opening the door. Designed to accommodate nearly any door handle size, the hook can even be used on heavy-duty doors with metal bars as handles. When dealing with heavy-duty doors that often require pushing instead of turning, the Multi-Use Door Opener's push heads come into play. These flat heads are wider than the device itself, providing a secure grip on the door. Additionally, the bottom push head features a button pusher, allowing users to activate buttons without touching them or obstructing other functions. The gadget's heavy workload necessitates sturdy construction and ergonomic design. To address this, I integrated four finger holes into the device, enabling users to grasp it securely and apply more force for optimal performance. The palm grip allows the door opener to rest comfortably in the user's hand, reducing pressure on both the device and its operator. The GripSafe Door Opener is a game-changer for those struggling with door accessibility issues, offering a reliable solution for opening various types of doors with ease.
