None of these door handles are raptor proof, and as such, will never be installed in my home.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Visually? Manhattan. But as a type 1 diabetic I prefer round knobs. Do you know how many tubes I've ripped out from getting caught on this style of knob? And don't get me started on cabinet handles...
Levers are generally installed over knobs as they are more accessible for people with impediments that lack grip strength.
Yeah, I broke my hand and was unable to grip stuff, you start noticing real the difference real fast. Also why 90% of the videos of cats opening doors are doors with lever style handles.
Just imagine having oily fingers and trying to turn a door knob.
Imagine touching a door knob at all with oily fingers 😭
Manhattan here too
They all look like I'd get my pants pocket caught in them (I'm blessed with a special combination of hips and height. My taller boyfriend doesn't have this problem.)
My preferred door handles are the upsy/downsy ones. You can still open them with a flexible leg, but they don't grasp for my pockets.
Isn't evolution beatiful? Each of these specimen has adapted to fit a highly specific niche, it's knob optimized to predate a specific style of trouser pocket or even certain belt loops.
the ones who weren't fit enough never got to reproduce and slowly disappeared from nature
god these are all so weird.
Edit: you know what it is? it's the cover plate being so large. none of them are what i am used to but some are pretty close, but the huge cover plate makes them all look weird.
Broadway or Latitude. Incidentally, I have the latter in my house.
Elan all the way
public toilet ass doorhandle design
Are you a hospital architect?
Finally, the relevant questions are being asked.
Avila and Champagne for me. Also fuck Elan and Jazz in particular, might as well install a knife as a doorhandle.
I have never thought about door handles in my life, except this one time where a door had a handle on the "push" side and I didn't understand why the hell it would need a handle if it's only meant to be pushed from that side...
I don't like curvy doorknobs, so I'll go with Broadway, Latitude or Jazz. Jazz seems to have a small space for your thumb.
Oh fuck yes our very own pillar column post
As usual Elon is the fucking worst
None of them because they are all left-handed door handles
I bet they only fit on doors that swing forward
Latitude or Merano
avilia
Such a hard choice, all look great. Except Sacramento. Looks like shit.
Whichever one fits in my ass nicely
Ball
The one easiest for my cat to open
Champagne and St. Annes are my favourites - i love the soft curves on the first one which look nice and the haptics will be fine too; St. Annes looks like it would feel very satisfying to press down and the divot on the top part underlines the remaining soft curves very well.
I like the St Anne, has a certain je ne sais quoi.
Latitudes are pieces of shit that don't hold up, thank God for warranty
Oh, that's my favourite one. Shame to hear
I mean they look very nice but my house is in a minus 40 climate and when doors ice shut and you have to pull they just can't handle it.
there is the knob
Accent and Broadway, the rest are mental disorders
I feel like Jazz would give me a nice little niche to put my thumb onto/into.
ooohhh yeeaaahh
