Pinkie Handle for latch-only deadbolt door

thingiverse

I'm installing a new latch on my home's door, which has a wire threaded through the mesh for pulling it shut when I turn the deadbolt. The process of shutting the door was previously a two-handed task, often with one hand holding a deadly weapon or groceries, neither of which should be dropped while I'm managing to close this outer door. So, I created a handle that makes closing the door a single-handed operation. Simply pull it shut with your pinky finger while activating the deadbolt latch with your thumb. It's done! Be sure to share a photo if you print one out - it brightens my day every time someone prints something I've designed.
