A New 'Spin' On Door Levers
Fundamentally, door levers are made to grasp with fingers. There is not enough clearance between the door and the lever for a fist when pulling. The Spin Sling 360 has a concave lever that spins. Simply turn your wrist to spin the lever and the concave shape adds extra clearance for your fist. Brilliant.
