FAQs
Are mounting screws included in the pack?
No, the pack does not include mounting screws. You will need to source M5 bolts or screws suitable for your specific mounting surface.
Can these be used outdoors?
Yes, they are designed for use on caravans, trailers, and motorhomes and are built to withstand standard outdoor environments.
What is the distance between the mounting holes?
The distance between the mounting hole centers is exactly 135mm.
How do I hide the screws?
Each handle has a built-in hinged clip-in cover that folds down to hide the M5 bolt heads after installation.
Is the material metal or plastic?
The handles are made of high-quality, durable plastic, finished in black.
Can I mount these on a curved surface?
The base is flat, so mounting on a curved surface may cause the handle to rock or flex. You would need to fabricate a custom shim or spacer to ensure a flush fit.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Check that the M5 bolts are tightened securely and ensure washers were used on the backside of the mounting panel to prevent fastener pull-through.
Hinged cover won't snap into place
Verify that the fastener head is fully countersunk or low-profile, as a protruding bolt head will obstruct the hinge from closing completely.
Mounting surface flexes when pulling
Reinforce the backside of the mounting surface with a metal backing plate or a large fender washer to distribute the load across a wider area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these handles, ensure the mounting surface is flat and sturdy enough to support the intended load. Use a ruler to mark your 135mm hole centers, then drill pilot holes appropriate for M5 fasteners. Secure the handle using M5 bolts with washers on the reverse side if the panel is thin. Finally, snap the hinged covers into place to conceal the fastener heads. For care, clean the handles periodically with mild soap and water to remove road grime or debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the black finish of the plastic.
