The Universal Knob Turner is a gripping aid for people with arthritic hands who are unable to tightly grip and turn control knobs on ovens, dishwashers, microwaves and other appliances. This ergonomic turning aid assists users with arthritis in turning knobs on and off more easily.

The Universal Knob Turner turning aid has an angled ergonomic handle that allows the user to grip with both hands for additional leverage to easily turn hard to turn knobs. When the handle is pushed against a control knob, the spring loaded hexagonal plastic pins retract to provide a firm grip. This turner handle is specially designed to make turning on taps, door locks, oven, dishwasher or washing machine control knobs easier. The hexagonal rods provide excellent grip on most knob switches that are contoured. The Universal Knob Turner is a comfortable handle grip that helps make daily living tasks, household chores easier for people with arthritis.

this product does not work for the application i was interested in , i.e. turning the dead bolt lock on the front door . the bolt lever is oval shaped and the device would not grip it properly . it may work just fine for the knobs on the kitchen stove . i think it work work better if the little "cylinders " were smaller diameter and made of steel . the plastic ones just slide of the knob i was interested in .

Q: Would like to have a gizmo that goes over a round bathtub knob which is 2 and a 1/2 inches diameter at the base (wall) and about 2 inches diameter at the tip (where it says hot or cold). Preferably something that has a handle like your doorknob opener (parallel to the shower wall), rather than the black one with the red brush end, because that one will stick into the shower space. thank you!

Asked by: surfandflora - 12/24/2019

A: You may want to take a look at the Enablers Door Knob Gripper by Apex (Product #: AEN19). It fits on door knobs and faucets up to 2 inches in diameter but has some stretch to it so should work with your handles.

Q: Will this turn a 2 inch diameter door knob?

Asked by: Mary - 11/17/2019

A: It may if there is something for the knob turner to conform to. If the door knob is smooth the Knob Turner may be a little to small for it. We do carry other door knob turners to help open door knobs. Such as the, Great Grips Two Lever Doorknob Grippers by Stander (Product #: AGG2001).

Asked by: Rudy Sargeant - 8/30/2019

A: The Universal Knob Turner only measures 2 x 2.25 inches but if the faucet knob has holes in it the knob turn should be able to grip it.

Asked by: roberta - 10/21/2016

A: The Universal Knob Turner should work with the triangular shape handle because the hexagonal rods provide excellent grip on most surfaces.

Q: I'm interested in this for my mother...she can not get a strong enough grip on the washing machine knob to pull it and turn it on. Does this stay on the knob securely enough to pull or is it mainly for turning?

Asked by: Tammy - 4/21/2016

A: The Universal Knob Turner is mainly for turning. Product Code: AGS340 - Grip Solutions Mini Grip may provide some extra grip with the washer knob.

Q: Hi. My mom is in independent care facility. She has a set of French doors that lead out to a nice courtyard. I'm trying to encourage her to go out there to enjoy. The French door has a latch knob with a turning lock above it. It is a deadbolt lock, i believe. Mom cannot easily turn it. Will this product enable her to do so? I don't find a picture of what the gripping part looks like. Thank you

Asked by: Susan Thompson - 10/17/2015

A: It can accommodate a lot of things, it uses little retractable pins to make the shape of whatever object you press it against. Should work with a deadbolt lock.
