Trying to find a replacement handle for an elderly friend, and doing so from a distance. As a result, I can't take off the old handle and measure mount holes.

This is a very old style handle. I doubt you'll find a match for this anywhere. You may be able to use our 82-005 as a replacement, but note that you may have to drill new installation holes if the original's aren't 4-15/16" apart.

Thanks, Tom! I appreciate the suggestion. I'm on the notify list for when this part is back in stock. Hopefully, it will work. I was kind of hoping you had a secret connection to a known replacement that was in stock. :)
