Foot-Activated Handles 101

With an increase in viruses these days, and now with the spread of Covid-19, more and more businesses are turning to door handle alternative solutions to keep employees and customers safe. Foot-activated handles are a low-cost and effective way of providing your customers with a germ-free option. Door handles are a hotspot for pathogens. The simple installation of a foot-activated handle can help prevent and even stop the spread of viruses.

Operating a foot-activated handle is easy. Here’s how they work: 

  1. To open the door, place your foot on the top of the foot pedal, press down just enough to grip the handle. 

  2. Pull your foot and drag the pedal open.

  3. Once the door has gained enough momentum, the door can swing open, allowing the user to pass through. 

It's’ that simple!
