About the solution
This innovation was thought of primarily for deadbolt handles, which are sometimes challenging for people with arthritis. It is a simple device made of a piece of wood, a piggy bank cap, and a small metal rod. In order to make it, you just need to use hot glue to attach the bank cap to the piece of wood and, then, make a small drill on the other end of the piece to attach the metal rod. This is a cheap, easy to make option for those who have trouble in opening or closing doors with small handles. Check the pictures, which can help you in the process.
