Abstract: A foot-actuated door latch apparatus having a mounting bracket attached to the face of the door near the base and proximate the door jamb. The apparatus has an elongated, horizontal slide track formed in the mounting bracket, and a matching slide bolt nested in the slide track, the slide bolt and said slide track configured for the slide bolt to travel horizontally in the slide track between a first position and a second position. The slide bolt extending from the mounting bracket and engaging the jamb detent when the door is substantially closed and the slide bolt is positioned in the first position. The slide bolt being disengaged from the jamb detent when the slide bolt is positioned in said second position. The actuation portion urging the slide bolt between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A door opener adapted to allow a user to open a door without requiring the use of a hand. The door has an automated latching system with a wireless receiver. The door opener has a bracket with a substantially rigid base plate that cradles a human foot. A set of screws attach the bracket to the door near the door bottom. The bracket supports a switch housing with a wireless transmitter and a switch. A pressure plate positioned on the bracket triggers the switch to send a wireless signal to the latching system receiver, which unlatches the door. The user can then swing the door with the user's foot on the bracket.
