40-101 replacement handles

Contractor from Delaware
Hi, will the 40 - 101 replacement handles work in my Pado Emco lock? I realize they are 1/2 inch shorter, but want to know if the shaft is the same size.

Thank you.

40-101 can work for you. The shaft is 2-7/16" long, but I don't know how long yours is.

I can tell you that the 40-101 is the same as the handles used on the 40-049 handle set, and that I've known many customers who have successfully used our this handle set to replace their old Pado lock. However, I also known a handful who couldn't get it to work at all. Now, whether there was a legitimate obstruction that prevented our hardware from working, or whether they just didn't know how to install it, I cannot say. It's just something to consider in case you wanted to go with this hardware.

Hi, Chris!

I pulled one of each of these out of storage.

I found that the shaft on the 40-049 handles was perhaps a hair thicker, at least on the particular examples I measured. That might explain the mixed reviews. What's surprising is that I couldn't identify even a minor difference in the two levers besides the shaft difference. It's not even a full 1/32" difference, and my measurements were with a measuring tape and not calipers, so take it with a grain of salt and see what you want to try.

Is the shaft diameter the same?

sounds good, I'll give it a try. The PADO shaft is 5/16" x 5/16", and shorter than 2 7/16" but I can cut it down.
Thanks for the help.
