Title: Mid 90’s basement handle

I need to find a mid 90's basement handle. Does anyone have a spare to sell or know who might?

They still have them in stock - call the factory parts department. I got one for $52 awhile back.

I just put one on. Black with square shaft. The old one had a nut but the new one works great. There is a little extra but easy to cut off as you can see in the Ebay photos. Comes with 2 keys but you will need to take to locksmith if you want your old keys to work. $29 plus Ebay tax but free delivery. TM13946-01L TriMark T Handle Pop Up Lock TM911 Clockwise | eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/TM13946-01L-TriMark-T-Handle-Pop-Up-Lock-TM911-Clockwise/164106636432?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649)

The part that pulls on the latches has a square recess so you install the new lock and then align the square recess with the square part and then put a socket behind and tap with a hammer. Slide it down until happy with the spot. It's a slight interference fit so it won't slide off. Works great. Installed photos on request.

I ordered mine straight from tri mark. If memory is workin right they asked for the number off my key. They all matched up. I think I paid $36 per handle, each came with 2 keys.

I just bought a complete handle unit from FT. There price was reasonable and I felt confident it would be the correct handle, but,OMG there shipping charge was outrageous !
Now I see I need two more.
