I propose a pedal at the bottom of each side of the door that you can step on to open the door.

That said, the less I encounter "dook knobs", the more sanitary I will feel.-- lostdog, Nov 10 2003 Just get automatic opening doors and do away with knobws, pedals, keyrings, etc. altogether.-- DrCurry, Nov 10 2003 Baked on AmTrak trains ... when moving from one car to another, press button, or kick the button by your foot ...-- Letsbuildafort, Nov 10 2003 My method: For doors that swing in the direction I want to go, kick door. For doors that swing the wrong way, kick harder. Repeat as necessary.-- Laughs Last, Nov 10 2003 If the pedal were mounted in the middle of the door, it could be opened using a pelvic thrust. Then it would really be mounted in the middle of the door.-- bungston, Nov 10 2003 [bungston] rotfpml-- seedy em, Nov 10 2003 random, halfbakery
