The funny thing is a a kid in Europe in the 60s I didn’t see these round doorknobs until we came to Canada.
All the door handles were the handle type, so kids, dogs, handicapped people, and those just carrying stuff in both hand could easily open them. British Columbia where I live now, introduced some building guidelines in the last couple of years that required new buildings to use the handle type door handles. It got a lot of people in a huff, but honestly it really is much more user friendly.
