If my debutant level of french doesn’t deceive me; Poignée can be used to signify both ‘handle’ and ‘doorknob’, so this correction would make sense.
But although Klink is the proper translation of Poignée, the word which is crossed out (knop) is actually closer to ‘doorknob’. It’s replacement Klink refers more to handle.
The alterations seem to confuse as much as they clarify.
