[urq] Door handles?

[Martin Pajak]

Thacher,

Sounds like you have the correct handle, the new style is made for couple
of different application hence the two holes.  As long as the rest of the
linkage hooks up correctly it should be fine.  There is a little plastic
locking clip you will have to transfer from your old handle and don't
forget to transfer your lock tumbler if you want to retain your original
key to open the door.
The hardware is self tapping so on brand new handles the holes do not have
threads, but it's a very soft material and the bolt goes in no problem.
