Compatibility Notes
-
Installation typically involves removing mounting screws from the old handle, aligning the new handle’s mounting tabs, securing it in place and testing door operation.
-
If the mounting posts, door liner or screws are damaged, replacing the handle alone may not restore perfect functionality—ask your technician to inspect the door assembly.
-
Replacing the handle addresses cosmetic and functional issues, but if your door has issues with sealing, hinge alignment or liner damage, those will require additional repair attention.
