What is the handle for opening the car door called?
1 Answers
The handle for opening the car door is called the door latch. Currently, the horizontal pull-out type door handle used in most car models is the most ergonomic form of handle. This type of door handle allows the door to be opened with minimal force and in the most comfortable manner. In addition to opening the car door, the car door handle has hidden functions, as detailed below: Assisting in adjusting the angle of the side mirrors: When the driver adjusts the left side mirror, the body should occupy about one-fourth of the right side of the mirror when viewed from the driver's seat, and the distant horizon should be exactly in the middle of the mirror's vertical axis. At this point, the handle of the left front door should be positioned at the lower right corner of the mirror. When adjusting the right side mirror, the body should occupy one-fourth of the left side, with the sky occupying one-third of the view and the ground occupying the remaining two-thirds. The handle of the right front door should then be positioned at the lower left corner of the right side mirror. Helping to judge the distance between the rear of the car and the curb when reversing: When reversing, observe the left side mirror from the driver's seat. When the handle of the left front door aligns with the bottom edge of the curb behind, the distance between the rear of the car and the curb is approximately one meter. For sedan models with a trunk, this distance will be slightly shorter.
