Zinc alloy recliner handle replacement

I didn't expect much for $14, but this is a great replacement for a Lay-Z-Boy 2012 reclining loveseat. I bought a plastic one a couple of years ago and it was very difficult to get it installed correctly. This one was designed to perfectly fit and took less than 10 minutes to switch out. I hardly ever write reviews, but this is a very good product and will probably last longer than the loveseat. Now the question is why does Lay-Z-Boy use such garbage plastic pulls on their relatively expensive furniture?

I ordered this to replace the handle on my recliner that broke off in my hand. I ordered it without reading the description or any reviews. I was just happy to find a replacement. When it arrived, I was shocked at the weight of it. This thing is HEAVY DUTY metal, a far better handle than the cheap plastic one it was replacing. It was dead simple to replace using only a screwdriver and my trusty Leatherman. It fit perfectly and looks great. Now with this handle, I am certain the chair is going to get worn out and replaced before I ever have to replace this handle.

This metal release handle replaced an original plastic one. My cable end was actually smaller than the original cable end, but the item description states this will fit 6mm and smaller. Works as it should. Good fit, good quality.

The factory installed handle was plastic, snapped off in my hand. The recliner is only about three years old so that was definitely a “WTF?” moment. Ordered this part with Prime shipping, got it next day, took less than 10 minutes to replace, and works fine. You’ll need two sets of hands to reinstall the handle to the chair as the handle needs to be in open position to install the two screws that fasten it to the chair. As advertised, it is metal, and seems much more sturdy than the original part. No instructions, but it’s easy enough to figure out, just do not forget to attach the U shaped spring clip that holds the cable sheath in place. I anticipate this part lasting for the rest of the life of the chair itself.

What was originally on the duel loveseat was plastic. Repeated pulling on the lever caused it to break. The swap was real quick and easy. There is a little wire clip that you will need that snaps in and holds the cable in place. The replacement didn’t include that, so make sure you don’t throw it out. This replacement is entirely metal…much stronger than plastic and will last forever. I think I’m going to purchase another one and replace the other side before it to fails.

It was a perfect fit, so it’s exactly what I needed to fix the handle on my couch. It’s made of metal and the original one was plastic, so it is better quality and will last longer than the original. I am so pleased with it. Do not hesitate to order it.

Easy to install, much sturdier and operates smoother then the one that came on the recliner.

Old one was plastic and broke. This one is metal and I can’t see it ever breaking. Clip was a little hard to get on and it was slightly difficult to find the screw holes to reinstall the screws but literally took five minutes. This is kind of a standard size so if this size fits your couch/recliner I highly recommend it.

Perfect fit

So far so good works well with replacing the lever on my Catnapper Recliner Couch. Great price for the product. :o)

Lo compre para remplazar unos de plastico. excelente calidad ya que son de metal y van a durar mas, un poco caros para mi gusto pero valieron la pena.

Perfect fit! It took about 5 minutes to remove and install the handle, and it works great. Very sturdy unlike the original plastic one.

Excellent product, didn't realise it was made from metal s the original one was plastic. Great would highly recommend
