I'd improve it further by placing the door handle slightly lower so it would be impossible to turn when the key is in the keyhole 😏
@m0xee @davidbisset The door handle already seems impossible to turn. There is no leverage. I seriously thought it was just a way to grab the door, but a badly designed one, with a way too small grabbing area.

Yeah, this is where I drew my "inspitation" from — it looks hard, but not quite impossible yet, nothing is perfect… ly dysfunctional 😂
@EndlessMason
So like… Make it a passive door knob, but make it have a form of a handle that suggests that it can be turned, but in fact… it can't be turned?! 🤯
That's perfect!
@ahltorp @davidbisset
To me, that handle doesn't look like it turns.
It's flat on my side, which suggests I'm pushing it to open. Another clue is the draft/shim strip to the right that looks fixed, that also suggests it's a push door.
That handle is just for pulling the door closed so you can lock it with the key
Also, knobs (spheres on a stick) are really crappy for folks with grip strength issues to turn / pull.
@EndlessMason
Good points and you are probably right, but to me, for some reason, on intuitive level it still feels like it can be turned, if it was my friends' place I know I'd be still attempting to turn it and be falling for it every time 😅
@ahltorp @davidbisset
Many years ago I spent a whole bunch of time pre-ai-googling door handles to figure out how they work in europe, and now I do a 4 point scan to figure out if it's push/pull. Mostly because I didn't want to learn "push" in all those languages
I have lived in this house 3 years now, and I still can't find the light switches
It's at the point where there are finger smudges on the wall where I expect them, so I know where they're going when I get around to fixing it.
@m0xee
What if you don't turn it at all? If the lock already defaults to latching when you pull the door closed so you don't need a second non-lock latch on the handle...
