How the Handybar®Works

1. Place the Swivel Cushion on the car seat.

2.  Insert the Handybar® into the U-shaped striker plate on your door frame.

3.  Use the Handybar® as a handle to lower yourself into your seat. Then use the handle to Swivel yourself into proper position.  From here you can hook the metal part of the Handybar, onto the car handle of the car door, and pull the door shut without having to reach too far.  Do not forget to remove the Handybar® before closing your door.

• There is a striker on each of the vehicle's door pillars allowing the Handybar® to be used on both driver and passenger side-doors, as well as the doors in the back.  
• The US Code of Federal Regulations 571.206 established the striker to hold a minimum of 1136 kg or 2,500 lbs. When placed in the striker, Handybar® serves as a support handle right where you need it!
  
• Handybar® fits in nearly every make and model of vehicle. No special installation is required.

The Handybar® is also suitable for individuals weighing up to 350 lbs.

Once again, insert the Handybar® into the U-shaped striker plate located on the driver and passenger-side door frames of the vehicle.  Once inserted, use the Handybar® to support your weight as you move yourself in and out of the vehicle.  Remove the Handybar® before you close the vehicle door.

Using a Handybar® is like using is exactly like using the arms on a chair to push yourself up. 

Ensure your vehicle has two bolts or screws attaching the striker to the door frame. If your vehicle has a light switch in the striker, be sure the Handybar® does not interfere with its operation.  Please refer to our "Compatible Vehicles" tab.
