    Recently saw a door with a little tab at the bottom to put your foot on and open it that way, surprisingly functional.

      I absolutely love those things. I don’t understand why they aren’t everywhere. I’ve seen maybe half a dozen in my lifetime

        They’re not exactly wheelchair accessible so most modern and publicly accessible places would rather install an entrance corridor or a push button door.

        But yeah, no reason not to add them to places like warehouses and airports.

          99.9% of washrooms I use don’t have either a foot thingy or an accessible button lol, so that’s not the case (because they just make one accessible separate washroom)

      I’ve only seen this in a few places - and of the places most had them installed in the most awkward/ineffective way.
