Abstract
A method of using a foot operable door opener which operates, without using one's hands, and without electrical assist. Signage is provided on the door showing that the entrance cycle is initiated by the entrant stepping on a pedal, actuating an initial delay, allowing the entrant to comfortably step aside to clear the path of swinging of the door, while a second delay assembly provides for a delayed release of the drive wheel at an end of the opening cycle, to allow ergonomic passage, which allows the entrant to comfortably step through an open portal of the door before integrated closing devices close the door behind the entrant.
