Self-Sanitizing LED Door Handles

Razeto and Casareto Mark 100 Years in the Industry with the Ossh

— May 24, 2021 — Tech
Razeto and Casareto design the Ossh as a tribute to the manufacturing company's 100 years in the locks and door accessories industry. This revolutionary door handle relies on a patented cable-free power system to illuminate its LED feature.

The different colors featured on the Ossh door handle act as a color-coded signage system. Users can tell if the door is locked or unlocked through its customizable presented LED color. This feature can also indicate an emergency or simply be used as a wayfinding system to indicate what lies behind the door.

This multifunctional door handle system can be used in critical conditions to direct people towards escape routes. It also boats antivirus, antibacterial, and antifungal technology. Therefore, the door handle is self-sanitizing due to its silver ions.
