Frequently asked questions
Does this make doors easier to open?
Yes. The Ableware Doorknob Extension provides a 5-inch lever handle that creates the mechanical advantage needed to open standard circular doorknobs with minimal effort. It is an ideal solution for those with limited hand function, grip strength, or arthritis.
Will this block my keyhole?
No, the design is specifically engineered to leave the keyhole completely unobstructed. You can continue to use your keys normally while the extension remains installed on the doorknob.
Is this difficult to install?
Not at all. The extension is designed for tool-free convenience, requiring only a standard screwdriver to secure it onto your existing doorknob. The package includes all necessary installation hardware.
Can I use this for left or right-handed doors?
Yes, the product features a universal, ambidextrous design. It is suitable for use on both left and right-hand swinging doors, ensuring versatility throughout your home.
Can a pull-cord be attached to it?
Absolutely. The handle includes a specialized slot designed specifically for attaching a cord or string. This is particularly helpful for users in wheelchairs or those with limited reach who need to pull the door open from a distance.
Is the material durable for daily use?
The extension is constructed from durable, high-quality plastic. It is built to withstand the repetitive daily motion of opening and closing doors, providing a reliable and long-lasting assistive aid.
Does this replace the entire doorknob?
No, this is an adaptive aid that fits over your existing standard doorknob. It allows you to improve accessibility and independence without the need to replace your current door hardware.
Is it suitable for seniors with arthritis?
Yes, it is highly recommended for seniors and individuals recovering from hand injuries. By transforming a round knob into a lever, it significantly reduces the physical strain required to grip and turn a door handle.
How much extension does the handle provide?
The handle provides a full 5 inches of extension length. This added length creates significant leverage, making the door much easier to operate than a standard round knob alone.
Are there different sizes available?
The product is available in one standard configuration designed to fit most circular doorknobs. Its universal design makes it a practical, one-size-fits-most solution for residential settings.
