Reaching out from a wheelchair
Door and window handles, pulls, latches, locks, and other devices
should be kept at an accessible height. Not only is the placement of
these devices important, they should also be easy and safe to operate.
They shall have a shape that is easy to grasp and operate with one
hand. They should not require tight grasping, tight pinching, or
twisting of the wrist to operate. They should not need excessive
pulling or pushing effort.
