"One major category of handles are pull handles, where one or more hands grip the handle or handles and exert force to shorten the distance between the hands and their corresponding shoulders.
Horizontal pull handles are widespread, including drawer pulls, handles on latchless doors and the outside of car doors. The inside controls for opening car doors from inside are usually pulled handles, although their function of permitting the door to be pushed open is accomplished by an internal unlatching linkage."
