door handle
Lever for opening
A door handle is the part of a door you grip to open or close it.
The term covers various mechanisms—knobs, levers, pulls—though it most often suggests a lever-style fixture rather than a round knob: She grabbed the door handle and pushed.
In vehicles, door handles are the exterior and interior grips that release the latch.
