  • If you're lazy or just don't know about it you will still open the door just like any other door. It doesn't solve anything. I've also opened doors like that before and if you pull it too far your arm gets "stuck" you're in pain and someone gets a big check for suing whoever was stupid enough to "invent" a door handle.

  • But then the bacteria gets on your sleeve/arm!

  • It's amazing how people think. My husband said it was great. Seeing how many men go into the bathroom shake their wee-wees and then leave without washing their hands. GROSS. The % of NASTY men/women out there like that is huge.. It's just like work break rooms, employess don't keep clean. Swine Flu/H1N1 is touching 1 out of 4 families in America right now. It is leading the 5/6 &10p news. A benefit in commercial buildings, schools & hosipital is a great vision to help combat germs!

  • That fucking shit costs $250.00?? Are you fucking joking? I would love to shit on the face of the person who put a price tag on that. I saw the words "sanitary handle" and I thought instantly wow, a door handle that cleans itself, until I saw this shit and was like what the fuck? You have got to be fucking kidding me.

  • The salesmen is hilarious "they use a paper towel use it to open the existing door and then throw it on the floor as they exit","you use your forearm, keeping your forearm germ free." hey moron, you touch any surface it has germs, and almost nobody uses towels and tosses them on the floor when they exit, maybe your dirty fat kids. this is the most sorry piece of crap ever, when i open bathroom doors, i use my elbow, and 99% of the time my shoe, and a 15 cent piece of metal going for $200, HA HA!

  • they are in Hooters LOL.....that shit is gonna break somebody's arm an they are gonna be sued ....Puff

  • What is your immune system for? Your immune system memorizes germs that come in. So the more germs you know the more percentage you're going to stay healthy. Stop trying to avoid germs that can't be avoidable, and stop making crap to open crap.

  • YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!

    You just washed your goddamn hands, I think TWO SECOND CONTACT with a door handle isn't gonna give you swine flu or whatever, you goddamn pussies!

    God, America's going down the shitter. Everybody's so uptight over such petty shit. And I thought the paper towel method was stupid! A $250 door handle that makes you look like a 'tard is MUCH stupider.

  • maybe the handle should go downwards? you can slam someone's face on that thing and it would do some huge damage

  • I will still use a paper towel no matter what.

  • What about a door that you can push open instead of pull? This seems like a good idea but everybody is turning into germaphobes every since the swine flu scare. I can't help but think this is just a response to that more than it is general sanitation. I do use the paper towel method when and if I use a public restroom though.

  • how about an automatic door? only been around about 40 or so years

  • nice waitresses!

  • yeah open the door with the same part you have been sneezing on, every says cough on your sleeve......lol

  • I saw a foot handle in one bar it seems like a better idea than this.

  • I mean a foot lever

  • why not just put a garbage can next to the door....

  • What a waste. Fail

  • what a fucking ripoff

  • How is it a rip off? You're not being charged for it. Do you really mind paying an extra nickel for your cheeseburger to make sure you don't have shit, vomit, piss and snot on your hands when you're eating it? I'll pay that extra nickel.

  • I'm saying that $250 is far too much for what it is, considering most door hardware is ~$50 or less, and there are more parts to a regular doorknob than this thing. I don't know how they can justify charging $250 for a bent piece of steel that mounts to do the door. Anyhow, I'm not particularly worried because I rarely use public washrooms, because I don't eat fast food much which must also explain why my body fat % is less than half then all the folks in this video.

  • Germs are good once in a while as my friend George Carlin once said.

  • 250 for a peice of medal? wow

  • I've actually NEVER used a paper towel to exit a restroom before...and I've been in some real shitholes before...

  • I've been in some places that didn't even have paper towels in the washrooms

  • You know in europe they dont use paper towels in the restrooms (toilet). They use this loop of a towel that EVERYBODY dries off on.

    250 bucks? c'mon man! Stop selling snake oil!

  • wow i could screw a piece of 2x4 to the door and save 249$

  • LAME

  • That's just useless most people don't wash their hands anyway.

  • what about germy wrists? they touch your food also...

  • Wow these people are complete germaphobes

  • Why would the door handle be any more dirty than any other surface in that restaurant?

  • Lewisville? I used to live there.

    I think it's a total waste of money.

  • new? we have had handels like that forever in canada

  • i wish I invented that....

  • No you don't.

  • Oh ya one more thing to say, with technology now, i`m surprised that a smart person hasn't invested into a some kind of either voice activated or even a mat that you step on that will activate a sliding door. Simple and probably could be built for under $250. If I had the money and time and a little bit older I know I would invest with something smart like that. If I was a restaurant owner I would invest in something like that before I invest in a bent piece of metal...

  • Why pay $250 when All they have to do is put a trash can next to the exit door and there ya go.. no paper towel on the floor.

  • LOL EXACTLY!

  • $250 Dollars for a fricken curved piece of metal stuck to another piece of metal then screwed to a door! Anybody who isn't retarded or autistic could make one! Nobody's going to buy it. I know I wouldn't.

  • this is the stupidest crap i've seen in awhile... i've been to restaurants where you push from the inside, so you can just lean on the damn door and it'll open. Save your $250... wow

  • I agree with the people saying there should be a way to open it with your foot. Don't you think at some point you're going to touch your forearm and not really think about the fact that you opened the bathroom door with it.

    To add on...people that are THAT worried about be sanitary would probably carry disinfectant on them. Solution : quit being a sissy, open the door with your effin hand, squirt some sanitizer on your hand, and your problem is solved.

  • $250 for a bent piece of metal...

  • You know these seems like a pretty absurd idea, but then, I think in terms of how I act and what I do, but when I really think about, allot of people are quite different from me and don't have quite the same consideration for property, other people, etc. and when I put that into consideration, this really isn't quite so absurd... sure it's weird, there's no way around that, but still.

  • 250 bucks?! wow what ever happend to the doors you just Push?

  • so stupid... now it'll be on your arm which can very easily spread to your eyes and face... (eg; coughing on your arm) ...how ironic!

  • can u just use a sweater or ur back shee does it have to be that hard!

  • Has anyone else here ever stood at the bathroom door waiting for someone else to open the door so you don't have to touch it?

  • DO most people really just throw their wet paper towels on the floor for somebody else to pick up?

  • seems like a good way to kill someone, just like, slam their head on that. hurt like a bitch

  • How about you make it so the door swings the other way, so that you can use your feet??

    Holy shit!!! I think I just saved $250!!!

    Stupid asses!!

  • If supposedly everyone uses a napkin to open bathroom doors... they can't be that dirty... just be a man and use your hands.

  • lmfao i see many murders happening with that door handle

  • Geez people, ever heard of a POCKET? Stuff that paper towel in your pocket until you have a chance to deposit it where it belongs.

  • I like the handle that you use your foot to open the bathroom door. way better than getting your shirt dirty. Your shoes already have urine on them anyway.

  • If the door would swing both ways, and had a kick plate.. they could just push it open with thier foot!

  • thats stupid.....should have some kind of "popper" that u step on and pops open the door...now youve got crud on your forearm....How does that fix anything?

  • Looks like someone is going to break an arm.

  • and what about the lock ?

  • Bout time. But why not just have a push open door?
