Door Handle Extender Pull For Short People

thingiverse

Assists small children, or very short people to be able turn door handles (lever style). Easily printed, this part attach to the back of a flat household door lever using double stick tape or zip ties. (door levers usually curve back toward the door, so the zip ties can hold in in place, and fit between the ridges) There are two curved rings on the underside, to allow a dowel rod or pull string to be attached. (There are two to accommodate doors that open inward or outward) Simply pull the string or rod, and it rotates the lever allowing the door to open. If you choose to use a 5/16 dowel rod, there is a cap and end cap file that should fit tightly, and if you like run a small screw through the side into the dowel rod. I attached the rod to the pull handle by a small piece of chain, but string, wire, or zip ties can be used. If you choose to use a pull cord, there is a knob included that the string can be tied through. All parts are designed to be printed with no supports needed.
