Made some door handles to avoid fingerprints

[getsometom]

Being tired of fingerprints from closing doors, I made these custom door handles so I can stop my OCD.

Originally I thought these would be amazing to sell, but I’ve decided against it. While I can assure myself from not being hurt, I can see how others may potentially jam their fingers and do not want the responsibility of causing harm (especially to kids) who may not use them properly.

Either way, wanted to share since they work well. ?

I can bet my wife gonna be hurt every single time she closes that bank vault heavy door if she uses it. ；）

There is 3M foam tape on the back

Not clear how this is much different form just grabbing the inside of the door (like you did anyway).

I feel like I am able to apply more leverage to close the door by using a handle on the side of the door than the grabbing any part on the inside.

This is a bad idea from a safety point of view. I'll take fingerprints over mangled fingers ?

Agreed, I’m putting my fingers at risk for sure

I got these off of Amazon and they work well. I used Goriila double sided tape. One con, my wife can’t use it because of her longer nails.

Does anyone know of an open source STL for handles like this that I can download and print?
