The sad part is that the one who did this is most likely patting themselves on the back for such a clever solution they came up with.
You’re right, there are no words for that!

Please, educators, stick to teaching our children and leave door hardware design to the professionals in that field.
P.S. – Betcha that door loop isn’t even through-bolted 🙂
