Sup guys, I'm trying to help a close friend of mine get his product out to the rest of the world!

Personally, I think it's a pretty cool idea, and they're currently offering 5 bucks off each if you use the code "DISCOUNT"


give the site a look and help spread the word haha

Thats a pretty neat idea. If I were him I'd go pitch to larger companies. Don't see it being a big hit for personal use.

It would also save a lot of paper towels. I'm one to grab a spare towel to open the door handle with cause I know how many people dont wash their hands after they do their business and I dont want that on my hands.

I know, he's trying to get a solid reputation through personal connections and just getting as much exposure as possible before pitching to larger companies so I'm hoping to help him out with the first step.

They have those at a few restaurants around where I live. Not the exact same, but a similar concept. It's a little plastic handle that you can stick your toes under.

Also, tell your friend he needs to come up with a way to attach it without causing permanent marks to the door if possible.

Shark tank?? Looks like a sweet idea that everyone would want. But beyond buying it once what can you do for money after the fact?

I feel like I'm not the only one upset that I didn't come up with this myself.

Or places could start putting in those doors that push both ways. Or no doors.

If he was also trying to make on for residential use, I can see people using these on their garage or basement doors so they can open the door while their hands are full

I was saying go on shark tank. But the questions that they would ask you is how you would try and get return customers. If everyone buys it once, how do you keep a sustainable company beyond that.

Most of the time push doors are inconvenient cause itll knock into someone walking by, especially in a packed restaurant or strip club

Seems like a useful and sturdy product & a well polished website.

Only problem is that it might fuck up the wall when the door opens all the way. Maybe a rubber attachment would help
