More than an observation, it's been proved :

Door locks and handles are one of the main ways in which we spread diseases from person to person, with contact between the skin of the hand or forearm acting as transfer.

The Easy Door solution :

We move the usual opening method to the bottom of the door to open, close and lock it with your foot…
NO MORE SKIN CONTACT WHATSOEVER !
EASY-DOOR manœuvre systems are in steel or stainless steel. Choose the stainless version for corrosion resistance increased ease of maintenance and the ability to sterilize the pedals.
The pedals can be dismantled.
