4. M Collection
Schlage
Designed to be soft to the touch from every angle, this collection of ergonomic levers uses gentle curves that contour with the hand for easy actuation.

The line also includes a linear, minimalist lever and an oversized lever.

16. Controlgard
CornellCookson
This chain hoist for overhead doors features an integral braking system to prevent the hoist from spinning out of control, slamming the door down, and causing the chain to fly up. The hoist only moves when the user is actively pulling the chain. It extends the life of doors, because it controls operation and reduces the risk of abuse, says the maker. The compact system requires just 3½ inches of side clearance.
