From Stephen Keane
So Donald Norman thinks that British sideways door handles are awful (5 October, p 46)? Has he considered the fact that you can open a door so equipped with an elbow, knee, or a suitably positioned buttock? If you have a weak grip, wet or dirty hands, full hands or indeed no hands at all, the door can still be opened. Compare and contrast with a rotary style doorknob.
