These no-touch door-openers are an essential tool you can use to help stop the spread of viruses and bacteria when touching surfaces. They can be used instead of your hand to open doors, press lift buttons, or when using an ATM. Many of the surfaces you meet in your day-to-day life could have viruses or bacteria on so these simple door-openers provide a barrier to infection and cut down on the time and cost of wearing disposable gloves or constant hand sanitizing.

These clever gadgets are usually designed to act as a key fob or attach to a lanyard. Some also incorporate a stylus function for using touchscreens. Of course, for any no-touch door opener to be effective it also needs disinfecting after use but it’s certainly more convenient than keeping your hands sanitized. Here are our favorite door-openers.
