Round door knobs are one of the quiet barriers in a home. They need a firm grip and a wrist twist, which is exactly what arthritis, reduced grip strength and hand tremor take away. Great Grips stretch over an existing knob and add soft wing shaped tips, so the knob can be turned with one finger or the side of a closed hand.
They go on wet and shrink to fit, so there is nothing to screw, replace or hand back to a landlord at the end of a tenancy. The open centre leaves the keyhole clear, and glow in the dark inserts help find the door at night.
It is a small, low cost change that keeps a client independent at their own front door and between rooms.
