Abstract: A door opening system for assisting an individual to open a door without having to touch a handle. The door opening system generally includes a connecting member rotatably attached to a wall adjacent a door, a foot pedal attached to a lower end of the connecting member, and a lever attached to an upper end of the connecting member. An engaging member is attached to an upper end of the door to be opened and is engaged by the lever when a user pushes upon the foot pedal causing rotation of the connecting member and the lever. The lever forces the door open so the user does not have to engage handle of the door.
