description A flexible handle extension for a pivoted handle of a light-duty door latch assembly of a screen door and the like and a method of substantially reducing an opening force required to unlatch the assembly from the door jam. The handle extension includes an elongated semi-flexible tube sized in inner diameter to biasingly slidably engage over and be self-retaining on the handle and sized in length to be at least twice the length of the handle. The combination of handle extension length and semi-flexibility substantially reduces door opening force while diminishing the seriousness of body injury when the handle and attached handle extension are accidentally bumped or struck by an individual.
