Foot-Operated Door Openers



San Diego-based machine shop 5th Axis offers StepHandle that allows people to easily open doors with their feet instead of their hands.

"As businesses around the world begin to reopen in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the StepHandle is a necessity for small and large businesses to provide a hands-free option for its workers and customers. Using the included hardware and a drill, StepHandle is easy to install in less than 90 seconds on almost any type of latch-less door," said a company spokesperson.

StepHandle's gripper teeth and raised lip provide traction without sticking in one's shoe tread, and it is angled enough to grab with a shoe, but not high enough to be a tripping hazard. It is offered in a variety of colors and produced in the U.S. The raw material is aircraft grade aluminum that is also sourced in the U.S.

5th Axis Inc. is a turn-key solution provider with a focus on product development, milling, turning, assembly, plating, finishing and logistics. Certifications include ISO9001, AS9100, ITAR registered and ISO 13485.
