Handplate, I have one on my swinging door into the kitchen, that home is much more spacious than it appears from the street. Nice master addition. I vote tornado.

@ThisHouse I later Googled hand plate and at home supply stores they are calling them push plates. I still have plans for a fallout shelter that my Dad had amongst papers (printed by General Motors), but I can remember him looking at the plan in the sixties and saying, "this is not going to save anyone." He did not build one. Cuban missle crisis freaked the parents out temporarily. Later, people said "the living shall envy the dead," so not much point to give up part of the rathskellar, a St. Louis favored word for basement recroom in the sixties.
