Jeff: 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. It is a counter-clockwise rotating handle. You can see it'll mount on the driver's side of your dual-lock cap.
And when you do install this, it is a blind mounted design. Basically it installs flush with the mounting hardware to remain hidden inside the lock cap. And it is a nice die-cast zinc construction, which is very durable and built to last. It is a nice gloss black color. And you can see if you turn it counterclockwise, it opens.
Turn it back, it closes. Now this one comes with two double-sided keys are included and the double-sided keys are nice because you can insert them either way.You don't have to have them in the right position, up or down or right to left. Just put it in either way, turn it 180 degrees. Take your key out. And it locks the handle from opening.
And then when you go to unlock it, again, put it in any position, 180 degrees, take it out and it'll unlock it. So very simple to operate. A few dimensions on this handle. The handle itself, the width is 3-1/2" long. The depth of it from the front to the very bottom of the base, it's right at 2".
The length of the shaft here, it's going to be right at 2". And then the distance between the mounting holes center to center. These are the two mounting holes right there. It's right at 1-1/2". And again, just to show you. That's to open it. Put your key in there, turn it 180 degrees, take it out and it's locked. But that should do it for the review on the Bauer Products Gloss Black T-Handle Lock for Truck Caps.

Excellent service and quality at a fair price. I would highly recommend this company!
Once it got here, it was very easy to install and works great.
Part was exactly as described and worked perfectly
Just what I needed, my truck canopy locks again!
The product was exactly as described and ordered. The service time was super fast and the price was betters than other suppliers! The product will replace an earlier worn out T- handle. I will recommend to others to use your services and products.
Perfect replacement for the rear door on my Ranch Sierra cap.
The only thing that would improve this produce is if it came with new screws. The old screws were rust and stripped, so I had to drill them out.
For anyone who needs to know 5/8-3/4” #10-24 screws are the perfect fit. So other than a quick trip to the hardware store, it was a simple replacement. Would’ve taken 15 minutes if the screws were included.
I received my order and found that I made a mistake, after calling your company we got it figured out and the correct one was sent to me. The service was very nice and easy to work with, I'd recommend your company to everyone, wish I need something else right now because I'd order it from etrailer right now
After a year these handles are moving just as nicely as day 1. Why did we wait so long to replace them? An easy fix and work so well. And etrailer is the best — excellent customer service!
Exact match to the latches on my truck shell. Installed in minutes and had the same keys as my old ones.
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.
