Torq

Torq

Jan 2025 - Present

Torq is our portable doorknob attachment designed for people with arthritis or hand dexterity issues. It quickly converts round doorknobs into an easy-to-use lever, reducing the grip strength and wrist rotation needed to open doors with doorknobs and helping users live more independently.
