Antibacterial Door Handle Covers

Safety options such as antibacterial door handle plate covers protect employees

Not only do employers have a duty of care to ensure that shared spaces are as clean as possible, but statistics show that it is also in their best interest. In 2020, employee absence in the UK rose to 118.6m lost working days, an average of 3.6 days per worker.

Seton has developed a variety of safety options to help keep workforces safe, even in close quarters:

• Antibacterial door handle covers and door push plates minimise the risk of contagion, protecting employees from unwittingly contaminating their hands and, subsequently, their surroundings.


• The hands free door handle entirely eliminates the problem of infection spread via door handles.


• Automatic door handle sanitisers are a good fit for businesses that are unable to replace their doors or handles, but still want to keep workers as healthy as possible.

The right door handle solutions for your business

Different types of products have their own set of strengths and weaknesses that can make or break their suitability for your business. Budget, time and existing infrastructure are some of the most important factors to consider when making a decision.

Door handle covers and antibacterial push plates are some of the most economical options on the market, offering users great value for money. Not every handle is the right fit, however, and sometimes an automatic door handle sanitizer is the better investment, providing safety without the need to alter existing hardware. Hands-free door handles are one of the most effective door safety solutions available, allowing workers to move freely without directly touching handles at all.
