Today I received a promotional catalog from one of my hardware distributors with a bunch of door pulls that are designed to allow users to reduce their contact with door hardware in public spaces. These ones are made by Trimco. My favorite is the foot pull for the restroom door.<\/p>\n
As a low-grade germaphobe, I WISH these had been popularized decades ago. Just this week I went into the bathroom of a Mexican restaurant to wash my hands before I ate my lunch and was horrified to find that it only had a hand dryer mounted to the wall. In normal times I might have waited for someone else to come into the restroom so I could awkwardly catch the door with my foot and slip out. But this place was only operating at 25% capacity and I knew I could be waiting for a long time. I don’t want to say how I got out of there, but let’s ust say I didn’t eat a single corn chip.<\/p>\n
As a low-level germaphobe who is also a locksmith, I’ll be happy to recommend another qualified professional to get down on the floors of your public restrooms to install a set of these foot pulls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
