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.
