  Hey I’m an athlete but these foot pull doors are still extremely difficult. It strains your calf muscles, your hamstrings, your kegels, and your core. Opening heavy restroom doors with this spiky foot pull is not easy or fun or comfortable at all.

    Our office has these and it’s always been p. easy to open them. No idea why there is a discrepancy. Maybe something about the balance of the door?

    I never have a problem and I’m lazy with a large beer belly.

    Yeah the one where we’re supposed to put our forearm through the hook. But you know people would just use their bare bacteria-ridden hands to pull that. Defeating the purpose of the germ-free handle.

      It’s still something you can easily grab with your shirt or (ideally) jacket. That’s almost as good as if you were wearing gloves after washing your hands
