Any smooth, swing-door trash can lid — kitchen, office, restaurant, public space. Works on most plastic and metal lids. Not designed for textured or porous surfaces, and not designed for top-flip or sensor lids.
Years. Properly installed units in commercial restaurants have been in continuous use for 2+ years and counting. Home installations should last even longer because home use is much gentler.
About 99% of installation issues happen in the first 24-48 hours and are caused by surface preparation. Re-clean the lid with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol from any drug store), let it dry fully, and try again with the same SafeHandle. We back every installation with a 30-day guarantee.
Yes. The antibacterial treatment uses food-safe, FDA-approved silver-ion technology that's been used in consumer products for decades. Safe for all household members. The yellow color also makes it visually obvious as the part to push.
Each SafeHandle includes the adhesive base and the yellow-tip rod, packaged together. The 2-Pack contains 2 complete handles. The 4-Pack contains 4. One handle per trash can.
Yes — that's the design intent. SafeHandle is meant to retrofit any swing-door trash can you already own. No need to replace the can.
