FootPull

The hands-free alternative for opening a restroom door

The "Hands-free" alternative for opening a restroom door.

Note that the pictures on this page show a discontinued color. We find that the currently offered color works the best for all situations.

The Footpull (TM) goes on the bottom of any latchless push-pull door and allows the user to open the door with their foot instead of their hands. This alternative method for opening the door prevents the person from having to touch the door handle contaminating their hands upon leaving the facility. It is easy to use, safe for all shoes and sandals, requires no electricity and is easy to install.

Thousands of Footpulls have been installed in schools, hospitals, restaurants, labs and office buildings across the US and Internationally. They are installed in public restrooms and any swinging door where hygiene and hands-free operations are important

We have calculated a 99.95% approval rating for FootPull feedback received. The Footpull is truly a popular piece of public restroom door hardware.

Why is the FootPull better than other foot-operated hands-free door openers?

The FootPull has been manufactured since 2006. Since the explosion of Covid-19 in early 2020, we have seen more interest that usual in the FootPull and we have also seen new competitors rushing to bring sometimes shoddy materials to the market. Some have started to use the term “Foot Pull” to try to gain some of the original FootPull’s jojo. But we are still the best, most reliable and certainly the most established.

  • Made in USA, high quality with a 5-year warranty.

  • Large enough to handle size 15 work-boots.

  • Smoother than others with inside padding for more comfort and shoe protection. 

    • Some of the really cheap newer options are just a piece of metal that we found hurts when opening doors, even with shoes on.

  • More leverage than using a push-down door opener so there are no problems opening most doors.  (Be sure to adjust the door tension if necessary.)

Will it scratch my alligator shoes?

This is an actual question from a middle school principal. While our intent was protection of the children, the principle was pleased to find that it did not scratch his shoes. The design of the hands free Footpull, including a pad, helps to prevent scratching. In fact, it is comfortable and easy enough to use for all ages and shoe types, and can even be used with sandals and flip flops.   

WHY THE FOOTPULL MATTERS

  • 69 million workers reported missing days due to illness, for a total of 407 million days of lost time at work and 22 million lost schooldays per year for students.

  • Nearly 1 in 10 of us will get food poisoning in the next year.

  • Footpull’s largest customers are food-preparation, technology and other companies where hygiene is of the utmost importance in their public restrooms.

  • Failure to comply with hand hygiene is considered the leading cause of health care associated infections.

"Saw and used the Footpull in Covington, LA. at St. Tammany's Parrish Hospital...great product; keep it up!"  Jim Adair, New Orleans, LA

"I used the footpull in Rudy's BBQ in Waco, TX. Cool way to leave the restroom without touching the 
door handle. This product should be everywhere, I can't believe there's not a law requiring this on all 
restrooms." Jonathan Barber, Texas
