This safety switch from Schmersal serves as a substitute door handle for ease of use. Once fitted, it has a latching force of 100N (newtons), so it will keep your door closed securely to prevent any unauthorised access. It's a versatile choice as you can fit it onto rotating doors with a maximum weight of 5kg, as well as sliding doors with a maximum weight of 3kg. It has an IP67 (ingress protection) rating, which means it's dust-tight and can withstand submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes.
