    I have never thought about door handles in my life, except this one time where a door had a handle on the “push” side and I didn’t understand why the hell it would need a handle if it’s only meant to be pushed from that side…

    None of these door handles are raptor proof, and as such, will never be installed in my home.

    Spielberg’s 1993 documentary, Jurassic Park has taught me many life lessons

    Isn’t evolution beatiful? Each of these specimen has adapted to fit a highly specific niche, it’s knob optimized to predate a specific style of trouser pocket or even certain belt loops.

    Visually? Manhattan. But as a type 1 diabetic I prefer round knobs. Do you know how many tubes I’ve ripped out from getting caught on this style of knob? And don’t get me started on cabinet handles…

      They all look like I’d get my pants pocket caught in them (I’m blessed with a special combination of hips and height. My taller boyfriend doesn’t have this problem.)

      My preferred door handles are the upsy/downsy ones. You can still open them with a flexible leg, but they don’t grasp for my pockets.

      Levers are generally installed over knobs as they are more accessible for people with impediments that lack grip strength.

        Yeah, I broke my hand and was unable to grip stuff, you start noticing real the difference real fast. Also why 90% of the videos of cats opening doors are doors with lever style handles.

    god these are all so weird.

    Edit: you know what it is? it’s the cover plate being so large. none of them are what i am used to but some are pretty close, but the huge cover plate makes them all look weird.

    I don’t like curvy doorknobs, so I’ll go with Broadway, Latitude or Jazz. Jazz seems to have a small space for your thumb.
