4. Keyturner by Homecraft

Homecraft has two keyturners which really change the way someone feels about entering their own home. Often, healthy people take the small details in their lives for granted, like simply sliding a key into a keyhole to gain access to their home.

With arthritis, this can be a painful and difficult procedure. Homecraft’s two key turners are designed to simplify this by removing the need to turn the wrist. One model holds a single key, while the other can hold two keys - ideal for someone who also has a security gate.
