My bathroom door was painted with latex paint which takes a beating from normal traffic, especially around the door knob area.
I am looking for ideas for low cost protection for that immediate area.
PS - in the future I will never paint any door with latex paint.Alkyd paint is tough and flows out like a spray paint job!
Thanks for any and all ideas, Pete Leyden

Fit some scrap plexiglass around the knob.
Holesaw for the center cut, bandsaw for the outer cut.
A couple of plated, well places \/ head screws to hold it on.

Train the occupants to use the handle. Drives me nuts why people put their hands on the woodwork. My parents beat that into our heads when I was young. Too bad my wife's parents didn't feel the need.

Funny thing those brass plates, at pretty much any Naval training command they will be quite shiny due the frequency with which they are cleaned, and there will almost always be paint worn off elsewhere on doors due to the majority of trainees avoiding touching the

that might work at home. I avoid bathroom door handles out in public. I've seen too many men not wash their hands. IMO, every door in public needs one of those hooks that you can put your forearm into to open the door. I try to avoid bathrooms that don't have a paper towel dispenser, because if the door has to be pulled to open (most do) I have to touch the handle.
