door lever
Push-down door handle
A door lever is a handle that operates a door latch by rotating downward rather than turning like a knob.
Levers require less grip strength and twisting motion, making them easier for people with arthritis, full hands, or disabilities: She pushed down the door lever with her elbow.
Building codes often require levers over knobs for accessibility.
