Vancouver has banned the classic round door knob for new buildings because it has accessibility issues. Door levers are easier to open especially if your hands are full or if you have mobility issues. The debate surrounding this idea has been fierce, but off the mark.
The real issue issue is that round door knobs are a critical safety issue that protects us against a very serious threat: Velociraptors.
…door levers….
thanks, fixed.
Fair play for velociraptors, I say.
