SP Ableware Maddak Ableware Door Knob Extender, Tan (Pack of 2) (754161002)

This doorknob extender works beautifully!! I moved down to the first floor because I have Parkinson's disease and three stories are too hard to manage and lately I've been having a very difficult time opening the door to our garden which is only accessible through my "bedroom". Our dog sleeps upstairs with my partner, but comes downstairs any time he needs to do his business so he can go outside. The door has a round knob that is connected to a lock and deadbolt system inside the reinforced door, a very secure system, but when it's hot or just sunny the metal expands and the knob is impossible to turn (for me). My dog had a coule of accidents waiting for me to get the door open, and my partner started to get frustrated having to come open the door for me all the time. Replacing the knob meant hiring somebody to take the door down and replace the integrated lock -deadbolt-knobs system a big expense and hassle. My occupational therapist showed this doorknob handle extender to me on another websiteand I'll admit I was skeptical, it's made of plastic and I didn't think it would fit. She convinced me to give it a try and we found it on Amazon for a lower price plus free shipping (I love being a Prime member!). When the package was delivered, again I was skeptical, I was convinced the piece that goes behind the knob wouldn't fit and would break if I tried to force it. I followed the instructions and when I went to fit the piece behind the knob, sure enough, it was too small! I couldn't fit it, but my partner came downstairs and saw what I was trying to do and simply pushed harder than I had (I honestly thought I'd break it) and it popped right into place! The rest of the installation took maybe five minutes, and the DMI Doorknob Handle Extender Lever works like a charm! The doorknob is super super easy to turn and the handle on the lever is long enough that I don't have to grip it, just push down gently and the door opens, no matter how hot it gets! I love this tool, and both my dog and partner are happy campers!

Arrived with only one retaining ring. Makes the second handle practically useless.

Easy to install. Makes it sooo much easier to open the door ( it is the knob-type)

This door handle is just what I needed for my Mom n Dad's house; door knobs in some rooms are over 30 years old, good luck replacing those with newer handles with out changing out the door!!! So these plastic adaptors are great! the little foam strip was a bit of a struggle, and I was afraid it wouldn't hold to the door knob and work, but so far has done very well! Mom uses it fine, and Dad hasn't had too much trouble adjusting to it. ( Mom has severe rheumatoid arthritis, and Dad is now blind and doesn't like things to change.) So these work; will be getting more! Yes, they're plastic, and may break after a while, but for us it's better than buying new door knobs, because nothing is ever as simple as it says... even these took about 20 minutes to install, but not bad overall.

As a quadriplegic this works great on a door we cannot replace existing round handle. Easy install tightens and stays in place.

You might think this is an exaggeration.... but I LOVE this product. It's a small thing that has had gigantic benefits!! I put it on the outside knob of my back door [easy to install] in such a way that I could attach a string from the lever, across the door and back along the wall a couple feet. I can now open the door by pulling the string... even when my dog is between the front of my wheelchair and the door... keeping me from being able to actually reach the knob. When I have a load of firewood on my lap, and can't reach the door knob, also... yep, just pull the string alongside the wall, and it opens like a champ! I should have done this years ago...

Installation was difficult, due to having to put nuts on the back side between the knob and the door. Once installed, when using the level to turn the doorknob it cocked the it to one side, and it would obviously have damaged the doorknob mechanism with daily use. Not wanting to solve one problem and create another in the process, I returned it. I don’t recommend this product.

Easy installation. Helps my aging hands manage a rounded doorknob.

big but helpful .thanks

Wasn't disappointed
