PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "I thought there should be a way to hold a door open when your hands are occupied," said an inventor, from Red Bank, N.J., "so I invented the OPEN ASSIST. My design enables the user to quickly and easily enter the location without having to wait and rely on someone to open the door."

The invention provides an improved way to hold a door open when your hands are occupied. In doing so, it ensures the door remains open allowing the individual to safely enter. It also prevents a heavy door from quickly closing and causing injuries. As a result, it provides added safety and peace of mind. The invention features a practical design that is easy to use so it is ideal for parents pushing a stroller, anyone employing crutches, disabled individuals, etc. 

The original design was submitted to the New Jersey sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
