    You should really be replacing those knobs with levers. Knobs are an accessibility barrier (e.g. for people with arthritis or motor issues) and they're also just a pain in the ass if you need to open a door when your hands are full (or when said knobs are slobbed).

      my lever is actually an obstacle to accessibility because my fucking landlord installed it upside down izutsumi-idea

      (not OP) My only complaint with levers is that I snag my pockets on them. This might be peculiar to my pocket-height. Is there a more accessible door handle style that is less snaggy than levers? I'll do me a web search.

      Also, jerk cats can figure out how to open them. Then again, what sort of monster would try and keep a cat out of somewhere /s

      Sidenote: I bought my condo from an elderly lady and I love the accessibility features that were installed for her: night lights all up the stairs and in the upstairs bath, really sturdy grab bars in the bath. I highly recommend bath grab bars.
