Door latch step
« on: October 09, 2025, 19:22:08 »
Are door latches designed to be strong against tensile or shear forces?  Scroll way down on the website until you find the video.  It's a great idea, if the car part is designed for that type of force.

OMG. You first!
I have a better idea. It’s called a ladder or stepstool.

I can easily see something like that eventually deforming the piece it hooks onto, depending on the weight of the person using it.

Then one will wonder why their door never closes properly any longer…
