    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.

      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.
