If that is their purpose they are designed all wrong. Plus, how cold could a door handle really be that you don't want to touch it? they are to stop the door from slamming into your wall just like they are listed above. personally i love felt, but this doesn't make sense at all. hopefully they have lots of diameters too, because it would have to be sized just right. many many more elegant options out there. @cecile

This is not a better door bumper. Nice try. What’s to stop them from falling off the lever when you open the door? This is not a better door bumper. Nice try.

Many areas in Europe (e.g. Switzerland) don't have door knobs, they have door handles instead. This door handle protector is to protect your hand from touching the cold metal door handle. Great idea except I'd prefer it to be wider and thinner so it's easier for the hand to get a grip. @nate @sam Lowry @Nate @louis w

You can get the for a pittance at you local music shop. Nice idea, though. Eh, these are just felt washers, used by drummers on cymbal stands. You can get the for a pittance at you local music shop.

I have no way to put a stopper in my house due to the closet door opening toward my front door. Thanks for the tip. Strangely- this is exactly what I need.

Just invest in a good old-fashioned rugged American door stopper. Swiss felt cannot compete with Chicago steel in this case. This is very cute, but I don’t believe it would work.
