two knobs

Why are there two knobs on the door of a toilet for the disabled on the train? It must have something to do with usability. But how does it help them open or close the door?

기차에 있는 장애인용 화장실문에는 두 개의 손잡이가 있는 것일까? 사용성을 향상을 위한 것임에는 틀림없어 보이는데, 이것이 장애인들이 화장실문을 열고 닫는 것에 어떻게 도움을 준다는 것일까?

왜 두개인지 알려주셈.
누구한테 물어봐야할 것 같긴 한데, 조만간.

i think it's because the heights of the wheelchairs are different. Thus, the knob i the below should give an easier access to those who prefer it. just my guess

It makes sense. A little difference could help the disabled a lot, actually. Smart lady!

20명이 모이는 하루 종일의 미팅에서 혼자만 네덜란드어를 할 줄 몰랐다. 한두번 겪는 일은 아니지만, 익숙해지기엔 너무 고문이다. Minority로 살아간다는 것, 참 힘든 일이다. 모든 것이 끝나고 혼자 기차를 기다리며 바라보는 하늘은 그래도 그래도 아름답다.

I was the only guy who couldn't speak Dutch at the meeting where about 20 people joined all day long. I am supposed to get used to it but still it is a torture to me. It's not easy to live as a minority in a society. Yet when everything was finished the sky was so beautiful, at which I looked while waiting for a train to home.
