Refrigerators are widely used devices today. From keeping the food fresh to chilling the drinks, and even to preserve blood, refrigerators serve all such purposes. But sometimes it becomes cumbersome to use household refrigerators, especially when we are dealing with some grocery bags or a large utensil and there is no additional helping hand to open and close the refrigerator door. Foot lever refrigerator door opener and motor operated closure helps in opening and closing the fridge door even when both the human hands are engaged in handling stuff. Foot lever operated refrigerator door opener and motor operated closure uses a foot lever which operates a lock with the help of a cable lock opening assembly. The torsion spring attached to the hinges of the refrigerator door activates and opens the door. The electric motor is used to close the door when our job is finished.
