FSB door handle attachment for forearm operation

Handless operation of doors to minimize virus transmission

It becomes especially clear in times of the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic how important it is on a global level to minimize shared contact areas. As a premium manufacturer, FSB supplies high-quality window and door hardware "made in Germany." We have an innovative solution for "handless" opening and closing of doors by operation with the forearm, namely the FSB door handle fitting for forearm operation.

Due to the high volume of public traffic in public buildings, there is a risk of transmission of viruses, bacteria and multi-resistant pathogens.

Potential germ carriers are usually objects that are regularly touched, especially door handles would be seriously contaminated.

This is evident not only in healthcare facilities but also in offices or medical practices - in short, in all places where there is a lot of (public) traffic on a regular basis.

The FSB door handle mount for forearm operation is slipped over the existing door handle and mounted with two screws. The operating surface is located on top of the door handle. The door can now be easily and safely opened and closed with the forearm.

There is no direct contact between the hand and the door handle. "Our customers and users are not sure if there are viruses transmitted through the door handles," said Jochen Bauer, managing director of FSB. "We are responding to the growing demand to be able to open and close doors without hands."

With this special solution, FSB is once again positioning itself as a strong partner in reliable products even in such difficult times as the current situation. Design is always a conscious attitude for FSB; design shapes thought and action and determines the latest product developments that are directly related to current developments and requirements.

The FSB door handle attachment for forearm operation is ordered through (the online stores of) FSB dealers, which can be found at www.fsb.de/nl/service-en-contact/verkooppunten/
