A recent statistic states that 40% of people do not wash there hands after using the restroom. The Door Foot Pull is a great way to create germ free environment in your school, restaurant, church or public facility. This product is the perfect solution where patrons and employee’s wash their hands and then have to grab a door pull to open the door. Instead they use the foot pull to pull the door open, that way they are not spreading germs. The Door Foot Pull Plate is made of a die cast aluminum material that measures 8″ across by 7″ tall and has a projection of 3-3/8″. The inside of the pull has a rubber padded for comfort. The Foot Pull comes with all the mounting hardware and includes a how to use sticker or door sign to show patrons how to use. My wife and I ran across this product in a Northern Michigan restaurant 7 years ago and were amazed that no one had thought about it earlier. Robert Brooke and Associates is one of there certified vendors and always has this product in stock.

Website tips for all Robertbrooke.com powered websites. 

There are a few tips that we feel are important or time savers for you, our customers.  The first tip and a major time saver is to switch the ” View as: Grid  List” to “List”.  By doing this you can look at all the products and the Short Description.  The pages will be longer, but all the information will be at your finger tips included dimensions, whats included, and finishes.  The second tip and time saver is the “Related Products“.   Related Products are shown on the right hand margin once you click on the product.   Related Products are items that go with the different pieces of hardware.  For instance, if you go under the” G199005 Doromatic Pinion Gear“, you will see the Retractor, Cylinder Bushing, and Traveler Assembly.   If you click on the other products, or click select all and it will put them in your shopping card automatically.   These tips will work on all of our websites shown below.

For the past 25 years we have been selling the Markar Reinforcing Pivot Hinges, well in the last 6 months they have come out with there new non handed version.  These hinges are a great preventive tool, to stop the screws on your butt hinges from pulling out.  The hinge absorbs the vibration, and because the screws are mounted axially, they are a lot stronger then regular hinges.  The non handed version will work on Right Hand or Left Hand Doors, and come in 1/2″ off set, or 3/4″ off set.  The off set is the distance from the door face to the center line of the pivot bushing.   On a 4″ wide butt hinge the off set is 1/2″, on a 4-1/2″ wide butt hinge the offset is 3/4″.  The new Reinforcing Pivot hinge is made of steel that is then zinc plated, to give it a blueish steel color.  The hinge comes with all the fasteners, two sex bolts, machine screws and wood screws, so you do not have to purchase any thing else.  The new non handed version will line up with the holes of the older B1923’s and B1921’s, so if you have to purchase replacements, there is no new drilling or tapping of holes.   You can order the Reinforcing Pivot Hinge for 4-1/2″ wide butt hinges, or the Reinforcing Pivot Hinge of 4″ wide butt hinges on our website.  We also have the replacement bushings and screws in stock for immediate delivery.

The above image is the New Markar Reinforcing Pivot Hinge, which will work on Right hand or Left hand doors. The image shows it in a Left Hand configuration.
