The Hands-Free Door Handle Manifesto

It's time for a rethink on how we interface with public door handles, especially those installed on single occupancy restroom doors. Fresh ideas combined with high quality manufacturing methods will produce a familiar but improved solution for the betterment of society. The Restroom UP LoK™ has been designed to be a hands free door solution by satisfying the following objectives:

The manually operated door handle of the future will not require the user to grab and/or twist anything.
A superior restroom privacy lock will allow, but not require, the use of the human hand to open, lock and unlock the door.
The device will be fully compliant with all applicable building codes in addition to accessibility requirements such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Spring-loaded automatic door closers should continue to be installed on restroom doors for an automated and hands-free closing action.
A public environment means the privacy lock should be able to take abuse and continue to function properly.
This new type of privacy lock will retrofit on to all common commercial-grade doors of standard thickness and backset bore hole preparation.
A privacy lock that features hands-free-optional operation isn't enough to be considered the ideal public restroom lock. A locked status indicator, badly lacking on most restroom doors and a mandatory requirement of the International Building Code effective January of 2021, must also be included. The locked status should be advertised with a bright red indicator that is easily visible within 6 feet of the ingress side of the door.
