Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at the Bauer Products Gloss Black T-Handle Lock for Truck Caps.Now this locking T-handle will replace a broken or damaged handle on your truck cap or camper shell. You can see this one is a clockwise rotating handle. It's designed to mount on the passenger side of your dual lock cap or the center on your single lock cap. And when you do install this, it is a blind mounted design, basically to install flush with the mounting hardware to remain hidden inside the lock cap.
It is a nice die-cast sink constructions are a durable and built to last. You can see it has a nice gloss black color, and it does come with the two keys. And right now you can see is clockwise to open it. And if you want to lock it, you go ahead and put your key in, turn it 180 degrees and that'll lock it. So nobody can enter it.
And then when you put your key back in, turn it back to 180 degrees and that'll open it up. Simple as that.Two specs on this, the dimension, it's going to be 3 1/2 inches long on the handle. The depth of it from the front of the handle to the base when it's installed is right at 2 inches, the length of the shaft is right at 2 inches and the distance between the mounting holes right here center to center is going to be right at 1 1/2 inches.Again, just to show you to open it up and then you take your key, insert it in there, turn it 180 degrees and that'll lock the cap.But that should do it for the review on the Bauer Products Gloss Black T-Handle Lock for Truck Caps.

This is a replacement for the set I bought a year ago that stopped working after 6 months. I bought the metal set hoping for better build quality and unfortunately these are built just as poorly. I bought the clockwise and counterclockwise set and only one came with the mounting hardware and one is extremely difficult to turn. If I didnt need these right away I would have absolutely returned them and still may later on. The shipping was incredibly fast though, granted, I paid nearly $[XX] to have them delivered the next day. I will say etrailer.com had the order proccessed and shipped out within a few hours of me placing the order so that was very nice to see. If my LEER truck bed shell didnt have the specific cutouts for these exact latches then I would have absolutely purchased from another manugacturer but I'm stuck with buying this overpriced junk I guess. One star if not for etrailer.com's fast proccessing.
Fits great and they were easy to instal l.
This was a direct replacement for the center lock on a Century brand topper, Clockwise is the direction to close it as you are facing it. Very simple to change: 2 screws and a keeper. You have to reuse the original screws because this does not come with any. Came with 2 keys. Very happy with product and service.
Exactly what I needed. Etrailer website is great packed with knowledge. If you don't know what you want or need, look around their website, you'll find it.
Fantastic handle! Complete upgrade to the stock handle on my camper. The original handle had some play which allowed the handle to unlatch even when locked. This latch solved the problem, even when traveling off road and it looks great!
Exact replacement for my truck canopy
After one full winter I expected these to be seized, yet when I locked then this spring they function at if brand new. Good locked!
I order this T handle with keys because I needed the
key number K 127 to match the at hand locks on my LEER camper shell. The key kitt and works. I’m grateful the eTrailer phone agent was able to figure out I could get the key by ordering the T handle. Recently sold that camper shell and I wanted to give the buyer a key so they could use the T handle locks. The buyer is thrilled!
Everything looks great. I just received my order on 01/21 but haven't got it installed yet.
A replacement for frozen locks on my snowmobile trailer. But I'm surprised/disappointed that the new locks did not come with the covers.
Fit great Only 2 screws to install. Seems very good grade unit.

Workin fine - Recommend a regular spritz of lubricant WD-40 or ? and use of key for maintenance.
the handles work great! The only thing that surprised me is that they did not come with insert for the inside of the handle assembly and the flipper bar that slides on the square shaft after the assembly has been installed.I just transferred those parts from the old handles but my cap is very secure!!
