ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching to a sliding door of a pair of sliding doors and for allowing opening of the sliding door by use of a foot. The device includes a first portion, a second portion, and attaching apparatus. The first portion is attached to the interior surface of the bottom of the sliding door and is engaged by the foot when opening the sliding door. The second portion is attached to the exterior surface of the bottom of the sliding door and is engaged by the foot when opening the sliding door. The attaching apparatus attaches the first portion and the second portion to the sliding door. The second portion has a proximal part, an intermediate part that is prismatically-shaped and extends integrally taperingly outwardly from the proximal part, and a distal part that extends integrally outwardly from, and is thinner than, the intermediate part to a distal end surface of the second portion, where it assumes a cylindrical shape that is vertically-oriented and extends laterally slightly past the distal part to prevent injury to the foot accidentally contacting it.
