We installed this lever on the door to our attached garage. I am frequently going in and out of there to the extra refrigerator with something in my hands, and use to have to set it down, open the door, and pick it back up. Now I can just use my elbow to hit the lever and open it right up! I love the look and smooth finish of the lever, and having a lock on this door is a big plus. My husband is very handy and was able to install this level without much effort or time. Very pleased with it!
