Sliding door handles 85 -90

[datgap]

Does anyone know the difference between the left hand door and right hand door handles please? Or are they the same!
Thankyou

[billy739]

they are different , part numbers and casting

BUT it is only the way the key turns to ock / unlock

ie all the locks are designed to turn the same way to lock . if you get the wrong side you just need to turn the key the opposite way from factory. - most people wont even notice!

later late door handles were cast differently , they flared out around the door hole. but they all fit

Don't suppose you know if you can replace the lock mechanism in them? Someone has converted mine to use a screwdriver as a key

[billy739]

the lock mech (the part that excepts the key) is designed to be removed / changed. however this will depend on the condition of the handle or if there is any damage.

Cool! Thanks - I did some digging and found this https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... 3&start=30" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't have the key as far as I know but I do have a screwdriver that fits
