520 $a Public restrooms are required by law to be architecturally accessible for people with disabilities. A restroom latch is one of the restroom elements that define accessibility of public restrooms. The purpose of this study was to identify universally accessible public restroom latches.
520 $a Three test latches labeled “ADA compatible” were manipulated by 120 individuals of various ages and upper extremity skills. The usability of these latches was measured by a 4-point Likert scale.
520 $a A significant difference in usability of the test latches was obtained. A flip-over latch was most usable followed by turn latch and a slide latch. The main factor that influenced the subjects' response to the usability of the latches was ease of the operation. The results of this research suggest that the requirements of accessibility laws and standards regarding public restrooms latches are not truly sensitive to the needs of environmentally vulnerable individuals.
