    make a door opener - open almost any door without using hands

    The world is going through a difficult period, the Corona virus is attacking people indiscriminately. There are a lot of ways you can get infected with this deadly virus. And they are a close proximity to a sick person and even through different surfaces, the most common being through the door handle. In the video I will show how to easily build a door opener, one that can open almost any door without using these hands with only the legs! It is a very effective solution and also helps to open the door when your hands are unoccupied or packed with crates. Watch the video and tell me what you think.

    I like the idea of just removing the doors. as well as smashing the fart blowers off the walls.

    The video showing the guy just using his foot to open the door makes the assumption that the latch can be overcome by simply pulling on the door with your foot.
    This however would only be true providing the door latch had been disabled.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
