My original handle was cheap plastic which broke and sent the cable retainer somewhere into the chair. This replacement was almost a perfect fit, just a tad bit smaller in width than original but I don’t care. I can put my feet up again, that’s more important to me than the slight cosmetic difference. It was easy to install EXCEPT for the plastic clip that snaps into the chair mechanism. I couldn’t get it into place no matter what I used to clamp it. I think it is thicker than my original. As I sat there fed up & sharp pains in my fingers and hand starting (RA) a bell went off in my head. The original cable from my original lever wasn’t broke so I decided to try and use that in the new part since I knew that plastic clip would fit and it did. The replacement should have taken 5 minutes if that if it wasn’t for the clip not fitting. Great sturdy, affordable product and I have my recliner back! Shipping was fast- ordered on Saturday and delivered on Monday! I’m a 62 year old female, if I can do it-so can you! My chair still has a lot of life left in it only being 5 years old, glad I researched the problem and found this part.
