Replacing my handle set with the 82-036
My wife is hoping to replace our handle set with a white unit similar to your part # 82-036. Do you think this will work in our application?
Thanks,
Paul
Hey, Paul. Unfortunately, that won't be possible. Not without some serious adaptation anyway. You have a specific kind of flush handle set that can't really be replaced by any other style. The reason for this is because once you remove your handle, you have a huge rectangular hole left over. You'd have to find a way to cover that before you install anything else.
If you were interested in undertaking that kind of project, you could contact a local hardware store. They might sell a kind of plate that you can use to cover the hole that would be left behind by your old handle. Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck with this style.
Sorry we can't offer an easier solution!
