Fitting Foot Pulls

Noun or adjective, fitting works, and, well, no it's not woodworking, but someone has to do it. Fit them I mean. I put one of these on the doors to create a hands-free door and found that they work so well I wanted them on all the doors. They do take a while to stop using your hands but with COVID_19 still prevalent these things kick start the habit of not contaminating surfaces. But it is much more benefit than that. Many times in a day I need to put something down to open the door with my hands and then pick it up again. These things totally eliminate that.

They are simple to fit and would have been simpler still had I not has stainless steel kick plates and electronic-release door stops in case of fire. A health and safety requirement by law on self-closing doors. Once you set the stop the door holds but if the alarm goes off the sound emitted triggers the release of the stop and the door closes. Dropping a plank or turning on a machine like my bandsaw does that too, unfortunately. But it's a first-world problem. I simply reopen, hit the stop with my foot and it stays put again.

So now they are in place as we consider when different ones will take their desk up again here at the workshop studio and office. It will not be any time soon that everyone is in because we must completely restructure many areas. We actually isolated before it was a requirement and I have pretty much been on my own here for 9 weeks to date. I have taken the extra precautions for a variety of reasons not the least of which is my age, my diabetes, my asthma (very rare spasms nowadays), and such.
