Handle With Front Button

The button cannot be pulled out on these handles.

There are two ways to move the button into the installation position, with or without assembly fastener. The following describes both ways.

Moving the handle with an assembly fastener into the installation position:

Make sure the assembly fastener has an eye -arrow- at the front. Other assembly fasteners cannot be used.

-- Press the button and push the assembly fastener (with the eye) -arrow- all the way in until it latches into place. Then release the button. The button locks into the installation position when the assembly fastener is pulled out.
