Frequently Asked Questions

No. No installation, no adhesive, no drilling, no permanence. Handly clips into your car's door striker and is in place in about two seconds, then comes straight back out.

Into the door striker. It's the U-shaped steel loop on the door frame that the door latches onto. It is structural frame steel, not trim, so your weight goes through the car's strongest point.

Door striker geometry has been standardised since 1973 under SAE J839, so Handly fits virtually every car, SUV and ute on the road. A small number of vehicles use a non-standard or shrouded striker. If yours is one of them, our 30-day money-back guarantee covers you.

Yes. Handly is pocket-sized and travels with you, not with the vehicle. The same handle works in your car, a friend's car, or a taxi. Nothing is left behind or mounted.

No. Handly seats against the striker bolt, not against paintwork, and carries a protective rubber piece on the contact face. It does not attach to the door skin, the window frame or the glass. 

Yeah, Handly is absolutely perfect for older parents and seniors who wants to get in and our of their car on their own. Handly is often gifted and highly appreciated. Users feel steady and dignified, without anyone hovering while they get in and out. Handly is a support handle, not a mobility aid or medical device.

Handly works by leverage rather than pulling force: the striker anchor gives you a mechanical advantage close to the body, so you press down and rise rather than hauling yourself up.
