A door bar handle for a clothes dryer having a front loading glass door. The door bar attaches to opposite sides of the door frame and spans across in front of the glass to prevent it from being struck by laundry carts and the like. A portion of the door bar is spaced from the glass so as to provide a handle for opening and closing the door, but the remainder of the mid-portion of the door bar is close to the glass so that it won\t be used as a hanger rod.
