Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big! Exact replacement and good quality

First a tip, measure twice, order once. Make sure you order the correct pen. I almost ordered one here that looked exactly like my old one, same company and stuff. I went out and measured again and it was an inch too small. DO NOT just look at the looks and be disappointed. measure and check. With that said, this is a great replacement. The same that was at my door. You can read reviews that say there are no instructions. That's right. Simply remove the old part and reverse the steps. It took me about 15 minutes to remove the old handle and put the new one in. This involves throwing the screwdriver 3 times and constantly lowering the screws. I hate to say it but I even had to remove the new handle as I wasn't sure the internal latch was making contact with the mechanism. my fault Make sure the handles are flat on both sides before installing the screws. Okay, second tip: lightly tighten the 4 screws on the inner panel. Very loose but holding. Check the handle AND the red handle for a latch. Don't tighten everything until you're sure everything works or you'll do what I did and install it twice. Now that you're sure everything works, place the piece on the edge of the door. This is done before tightening the 4 bolts that connect the inner and outer panels. By tightening the 2 screws of the edge lock piece, the handle is pulled to the door edge in the right place. THEN tighten the 4 screws. Check if everything works. You may have read that the screws were too short. NO! They're just not too long. They will work if you lined up the holes. Trying to fish out those little screws and fit them into the receptor is juggling. This part is fun. The screws are long enough but make sure both pieces are pressed firmly against the door and it is level. My door was 1.5 inches thick and the screws matched. Not at first, but it was me who didn't hold two pieces. together to connect. Like I said it was a 15 minute job even throwing away the screws and deciding to go back to the shop to get another screwdriver. It is a 100% replacement. The grip is surprisingly heavy and, except for the all-metal bolt handle, is red. Sorry, I forgot to wipe the fingerprints off the chrome before taking the pictures. Trust me, it's very shiny chrome. in the comments, ratings or questions and answers someone else had this brand. Maybe it will help someone else who has Sunnybrook. Oh I read where a lot of people said these are the same keys as their old block. My old keys don't fit, so just put your old keys in the box with the old handle and put the new keys on the keychain. . Ready! Much luck!
