One of my favorite restaurants has this. It’s a great idea, frankly.

This sure beats the paper towel method of opening bathroom doors!

I can’t wait to see some of the accidents from this device.
Whats better.. using a paper towel over your hand the old way, or being put on your a$$ in a pile of pee. Hmmm…

or simply, toilet doors should open on the opposite side (i.e. push to exit)

There’s still the issue of locking it…
Unless there’s a giant lock that can be operated with your foot?

I want to see what happens when someone pushes on the door mid kick and slide…

if you notice, this is on the way out of the bathroom, after you have washed your hands. There is no lock on the door in the photo.

Yall are all idiots. First off, don’t need a door, alternating walls could be used. If a door is needed, it could open both ways, or as one person easily pointed out, it can be pushed to exit, eliminating the need for a hand. This idea is creative, yet useless.

Actually, you’re the idiot. Alternating walls? How about in cubicles?
Also, pushing doors to exit in cubicles would waste a lot of space if they get left open.
Why would anyone need this? Just open the door with your arms. Ok if you have no arms then it’s fine. But then what are you doing peeing by yourself and how did you get your fly down or unbutton those jeans? At best you get a bit of splash back on the BACK of your hand, or a bit of shit on your finger tip, but you don’t open a door with your finger tip or the back of your hand or your ass. It’s actually more dangerous the way illustrated in the photo. A lot of piss goes on the floor, where your shoes are. And it’s dragged around. Then everyone wipe their dirty scummy piss riddled shoe on the lower door handle? At least you can wash your hands but now you have to wash your shoe on the way out? This makes no sense. There’s nothing wrong with just washing your hands using hot water and soap. If anything provide sterile wipes as an attachment beside the door handle rather than reinventing the locking system of the door? Simple solutions are always best. Keep the faith. Hank.

Every toilet door should open to the outside. This is a solution to a problem that has no reason to exist in the first place.

Oh for fuck’s sake dial down the germophobia. There isn’t anything on a bathroom door handle that is going to harm you, that’s what your IMMUNE SYSTEM is for.
…and by the way, by working so hard to avoid germs, all you are doing is weakening said immune system. Get the hell over it.

If all toilets had a Spaloo people wouldn’t have dirty hands and you wouldn’t need to worry about germs.

We have bacteria in our cells. People who need to use antibiotics should re-introduce good bacteria. We need bacteria to be healthy. For example, women who over wash/douche their vaginas, kill off or reduce the amount of good bacteria and end up smelling like bad fish.

Preach on. Almost sounds like George Carlin talking about germs.
MicroBioDennis
Frankly – you are talking shit, you are obviously micro-biologically ignorant. Forget Jesus, he would not have known better either. Wash your shit contaminated hands. If you get some horrible disease then fine – keep it for yourself.

Hm.. I always open door with my arms. Sometimes with my elbows. Works quite well. And my doors look nice. … Chris

When i was working in a building with over 1000 other employees I would use a paper towel to open the door and then throw it away when i left and sanitize with GermX this is a wonderful idee ..
monkeyfraggle
I’ve heard that door handles are actually the cleanest thing in the bathroom. Because everybody is worried about germs, they actually get the most attention from the cleaning crew.It’s the floors you really have to watch out for, especially women who bring a bag in with them.Also, NEVER use those automatic hand blower things, all they do is blow warm germ filled air all over your wet hands. You’re better off drying your hands on your pants or shirt.
