I’ve replaced the handles on my recliner twice already, this all metal handle looks like it will outlast the recliner, it’s very sturdy and the release action is smooth.

Definitivamente si es necesario reemplazar este tipo de jaladeras, lo ideal es que sean de metal como estas. Las de plÃ¡stico si acaso duran un par de meses y se rompen.Funcionan perfectamente, el pedido llegÃ³ antes de lo esperado y venÃan perfectamente empacadas hasta en bolsas ziplock (para algo servirÃ¡n en casa).Producto muy recomendable.

Th plastic ones that came with the sofa had broken. Decided to get something that would last more than a couple of months. They fit perfect and are well made. Waited a few weeks to get them but it was worth the wait.

Recommend!
Actually made of metal and seems of good quality and durable. It was easy to install and works like a charm! Time will tell but I really think it was well worth the extra couple of bucks to get a metal one instead of a plastic one. It was on my wife’s side of the sofa and she was so happy and gave me a smile and a wink when she tried it out so I’m sure it was a great buy!

Easy to install, sturdy metal
This came with the clip to lock the cable in. It was easy to install. I used the screws that came.out of the broken one I replaced. It is metal so it won’t break like those plastic ones. I was quite excited to find a metal one. My recliner is a no name brand and it fit in the hole with a little extra wiggle room but did not leave big gaps. You can’t tell it is an aftermarket replacement. It worked perfect with the first pull.

Fits my La-Z-boy with some differences
The best thing about the handle is that it’s metal and not plastic like the one that originally came on my La-Z-boy sofa. I tried finding one that was exactly like what I had. This was the closest I could find and decided to give it a try to see if I could make it work. First, on my old handle the cable attached in a different location. Second, the cable end was smaller than the hole in the new handle. The outer cable jacket looked the same and it did fit in the new location. I made a sleeve out of an electrical crimp connector for the cable end that fit nicely in the new handle. The cable was just long enough to reach the top of the handle when it was installed in the sofa. I could have flipped it over 180 degrees, but you would have then been pushing down instead of pulling up on the handle to operate the recliner. It is working where it is, so I’m not going to worry about it. The attached pictures show what I am talking about a little better. The first shows both new and old handles together. The next three show the old handle cable mounting points and how the old handle style looks on the opposite side of the sofa. The next two pictures show the cable installed in the new handle and the sleeve I made before I crimped it on the end of the cable. The last two pictures show the new handle installed. It operates very smoothly, better than the original.

Works.. but not a perfect match
“End User” nailed it on their review, I had the exact same problem on my (2014?) lazy boy recliner couch.In short, the handle works but I had to install it upside down, meaning instead of pulling up I’m not pushing downward on the lever part with my thumb. Why? As the photo shows, and as end user shared In their review – the cable comes out the top of this aftermarket handle (compared to the other photo which shows the original being flat on top) feeding the cable up toward the wood of the inside of the couch. You’d think from the picture that this is working, but the handle can’t be inserted all the way into couch bc the cable hits the top, thus you have to rotate it 180 degrees so the cable exits from the bottom allowing room for handle to be installed into couch correctly. I could have figured something out like “end user” to crimp and make it work.. but it’s 10.30pm and whatever, I’ll open it reverse and be done with it.I wish it would be the same as the original, but at the end of the day, there’s bigger things to waste time on. The operation (although backwards) is smooth and works fine so far. Very easy 2 screws (don’t over tighten and strip the wood when you put them back in!).Product doesn’t include instructions, the weird metal clip is for securing the cable in place, I had to use pliers to get it on all the way.Entire job took 3 minutes, and I now have an upside down, but working handle. 5 stars for better quality than original -3 stars for it not being the same as OEM and needing to be upsidedown +1 for price and ease +1 for it functioning without additional work. Leaves me at 4 stars overall.

metal construction
Fit was perfect. Sturdy metal construction. Better than original release handle.
