review by Ellie

October 2023

Extension snaps around standard doorknob 2”-2.5” in diameter. Easy to open doors if people have weak grips and have trouble twisting. Ideal and convenient for doorknobs that are not levers.

I have used this product for a couple weeks and I like it a lot more than the other doorknob grip (by EZ). Its easier to grip because the handle is bigger, which was the reason why I wanted to try it. I use it a few times a week. It was very helpful opening doors but the setup was hard and I need help getting it on the door. Besides the setup, I love this product because the grip is a lot bigger and easy to hold.

Pros:

Wider handle makes it easy to grip
Doesn’t slip off the door when secured
Rubber is sturdy and not flimsy
Can travel with it

Cons:

Very difficult to set up and need assistance
Does not fit on all doorknobs
Keyhole could be a little bigger if you have a wider key

review update

March 2025

I don’t use it anymore because it doesn’t fit on all doorknobs, but I still sort of like the product. I don’t like that it’s so hard to put on, but it works well once it’s on.

notes, hacks and tips

Ellie compared two types of extension/grip handles, which can be added to a knob without any hardware. She prefers this Sammons Preston handle over the EZ doorknob grip by Able Life.
