With this style of doorhandles up/down movement isn’t transferred through the slab. They both serve the same function of retracting the plunger from the jamb, and don’t require the opposing handle to move AT ALL. Likely due to safety concerns/regulations in high occupancy buildings, I’m comfortable saying all legal apartments have doorhandles that function this way.
If your apartment doesn’t it’s time to call health and safety because your landlord is breaking the law.
This is a fake shitpost for internet clout, same as it was 5 years ago when it was posted.
Codes are different (and actually enforced) when you have one property owner and dozens if not hundreds of tenants who all can sue the owner at a whim (in the US, anyhow).
That’s also likely true, I was just commenting on if that’s the outside of door, and there’s no keyhole in the lever, it’s incredibly unlikely you have to press down to open it.

My house came with door handle on my outside gate that has both handles directly connected and only turns downward and not upward.
They definitely exist and are still in use some places.
Like most of bloody Europe.
Not quite a high occupancy building imo.

Situations vary and as satisfying as it is to appear to know it all, one doesn’t due to the large variety of how things are throughout the world.
This post gives us a precise situation and the regulations are also very specific.
It’s not a hard conclusion to arrive at.
