ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and device for sanitizing a user's hands prior to the user being granted access to an area. A barrier restricts access to a particular area without sanitization of the user's hands. A locking finger of the present invention prevents opening of the barrier. The locking finger adjusts between an allow access position and a prevent access position to prevent a user from passing the barrier without adjusting the locking finger to the allow access position. To open the barrier, a user must adjust an access arm from a lock position to an unlock position to adjust the position of the locking finger. The user pivots the access arm towards the barrier if the barrier is opened by pushing the barrier. The user pivots the access arm away from a barrier that requires to be pulled upon. The pivoting of the access arm releases a cleaning substance to the user's hands pivoting the access arm requiring the user to sanitize his hands before accessing the area beyond the barrier.
