Doorknob Extender Lever
• Simlify the process of opening most doors without
hindering access to keyholes with the Doorknob
Extender. Measuring in at 5" (13cm), the Doorknob
Extender provides an extension handle that will fit
over standard doorknobs for added leverage. You
can also loop a cord through the handle slot of the
Doorknob Extender to ease use even further. Fits
round doorknobs that measure from 2 1/8" to 2
3/8" (5.4 to 6.0cm) in diameter and installs with
just a screwdriver. You can get a pair of Doorknob
Extenders at Sportaid to save big.

Door Lock Senior Security Devices
This ingenious, strong Alzheimer’s door
lock requires no key and does not look
like a lock. It opens by pulling and
rotating the door-jamming "blocker" out
of the way of an in-swinging door.
Caregivers can unlock the confounding
door lock easily, but persons with
dementia (who do not know the trick)
can try for hours with no success.
This Alzheimer’s safety device works on
doors that swing inward only. It's easy
to install, requiring only three screws
(provided). It can be installed on wood
or metal doors and requires a drill and a
screw driver. (provided)
