Looks good, feels solid

This pen is very durable and looks very good. It fits perfectly where the old pen used to be. I have two problems: first, the screw that comes with the handle is quite short, and our door is very heavy. The screw had to go into a pre-drilled hole from the last handle so it didn't have much wood to catch on and I felt it wasn't going to last long. So I had to go to Home Depot and buy set screws which worked great and it's not really the manufacturer's fault. Another issue is that the handle isn't very deep, making it difficult to use the lever to close our heavy bag door. My previous grip was deep enough for me to have a good two finger grip to fully close the door. Because this handle is flatter, it is difficult to apply enough force to fully close the door. A lot of fiddling is required to fully close the door. It works over time and if your door doesn't weigh a ton and you have old wheels that need greasing then this handle is perfect for you.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Zero
