Open/Close Doors in 3D

Ok. So I've successfully managed to create an additional family parameter that enables me to open and close doors in 3D (this is useful for VR). I now want to be able to add the door handles to the 'opened' door but I can't work it out. Help would be appreciated.

Door attached.

Did you post the right family? This one doesn't open/close.  

 

....FWIW: attached is a Door Family that opens and closes via Door Angle of Opening Parameter.

The door handle need to be a face based or workplane based family, hosted on a door face then they will go with the door swing open or closed.

Thanks for your response. The door I attached opens and closes in 3D only (think you would have had to load it into a project to see/test), the one you uploaded seems to be 2D only. I wanted to know how to add a door handle to the opened version.

Lovely... thanks, this helped. I modelled a new handle to the face of the opened door and it worked.
Thanks for you help.
