A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a door opening device provided on the door and configured to open the door. The door opening device includes a case provided inside the door and in communication with openings on the front and rear surfaces of the door, a door handle mounted inside the case and configured to be rotated by a user and to shield an opening in the front surface of the door, and a push slider accommodated in the case and configured to reciprocate in a straight line, and having one end in contact with the door handle and the other end that protrudes through an opening at the rear surface of the door. The push slider moves rearward when the door handle is rotated and pushes the cabinet to open the door.

A device for handling a door is provided, the door having a door handle which comprises a stem and a hand grip. The device includes a base unit and an extension unit. The base unit has a channel opening at a bottom section of the base unit, the channel being closed by a top section of the base unit. The channel is configured to receive at least one portion of the stem of the door handle so as to slip the base unit onto the door handle to connect the base unit to the door handle. The extension unit extends outwardly from the base unit and include a panel substantially parallel to the door, such that a force applied on the panel is transferred to the base unit, via the base unit to the door handle, and via the door handle to the door.

An improved door barricade system for use during an emergency situation, having a pivoting locking arm which drops into a floor hole to lock a barricade in place using a single motion egress system to unlock and open a door simultaneously.

A foot receiving platform, including an attachment plate, including a first section removably connected to at least a portion of a first side of a door leaf, and a second section removably connected to at least a portion of a second side of the door leaf, and a pivoting surface movably disposed on at least a portion of the first section and the second section to receive a foot of a user thereon.

A screen door cross bar is cooperable with a screen door assembly including a door frame and a latch assembly with a latch handle. The screen door cross bar includes a mounting bracket securable to the door frame on a side of the door frame opposite from the latch assembly, and a bar pivotally attached at one end to the mounting bracket. The bar is configured to engage the latch handle at an opposite end. The cross bar is designed to be fixed at a pivot point on the non-latch side of the screen door and receive the latch at the latch-side of the door to pivot and move vertically with the latch as it is actuated.

An improved foot pull for hands free opening of a door is described. The design provides a more ergonomic engagement of the user by providing an angled plate to engage their foot the plate further including a region treated to prevent slippage of the users foot off of the plate. A pair of the foot pulls can be used in tandem to provide a door stop and a means to hold a door in the open position against a wall. The design can also include actuators that can release a latch on the door. The actuators include mechanical linkages to the door handle. The actuators can also be electronic with wired or wireless connection to the latch on the door and can further be used to signal and actuate any electronic device such as a light or alarm system. The door pull can also include a mechanical cable or a hydraulic connection to actuate the door latch.

A device is provided that includes a mount adapted to attach to a door above a door handle, and a spring-activated plunger coupled to the mount is adapted to move with respect to the mount. A door handle engager is coupled to a first end of the spring-activated plunger and adapted to engage the door handle. An arm rest is coupled to a second end of the spring-activated plunger and is adapted to be mounted in various ways. A base region of the arm rest is adapted to receive a first force from above that engages the spring-activated plunger. A vertical region of the arm rest is adapted to receive a second force to push the door open when the door opens away from a user. The vertical region is adapted to receive a third force to pull the door open when the door opens towards the user.

An arm-receiving door handle and sliding lock system, including an arm-receiving door handle assembly, including an interior plate removably connected to at least a portion of an inner surface of a door to receive a limb of a user thereon, and an exterior plate removably connected to at least a portion of an exterior surface of the door, and a sliding lock assembly, including a knob assembly removably connected to the interior plate to move laterally from unlocked in a first position to at least partially locked in a second position, and from locked in the second position to at least partially unlocked in the first position, a carrier connected to the knob assembly, and a bolt removably connected within at least a portion of the carrier to move from retracted within the carrier to at least partially extended from the carrier in response to moving the knob assembly toward the second position, and move from extended to at least partially retracted within the carrier in response to moving the knob assembly toward the first position.

A foot operated door opener may be attached to or near a lower edge of a door to allow a user to open the door without touching it with their hands. The door opener may have a support member that holds a movable foot member or puck. The user engages the foot member with their foot to pull the door open. As the door opens the foot member pivots, rotates, or tilts with respect to the support member. The foot member may be provided with a flange that engages the support member, and the support member may be provided with a flange to engage the foot member. The support member may fold up against the door when not in use.
