Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Bauer Products T-Handle Lock for Truck Caps

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this line of T-handles from Bauer, so this is gonna go on your camper shell, it's gonna be good to replace one that wore out. There's different styles of them, so we're gonna see which one works for this camper shell and help you figure out which one works for yours. Let's check them out. The T-handles are gonna be an easy replacement part for the back of your camper. If one of them broke, it doesn't work, I'd much rather replace it and have one that locks, 'cause that's the whole point of having your camper shells, you wanna be able to lock it, so you can store equipment on the inside and not have to worry about anybody opening it up and getting to it.

Some things to think about when ordering your new T-handle is make sure you get the right one, for the right side if you're not replacing both. So there is the clockwise option, that's gonna be this one, you see there's the same style that is operated a little bit differently. So this one turns clockwise, this is gonna go on your driver's side, then you have counterclockwise, and this is gonna go on your passenger's side. So this is the lock position right now, it'd be keeping the back of that camper shell from opening, you want to unlock like that straight up and down. Style is another thing to consider, so looking at how the handles work with your camper shell, everyone is different, every truck is different.

You see this one's more of a matte black, it's not as glossy, this one has a thinner, longer handle, but it's still glossy, and then the handles we looked at earlier have that gloss on them. Those are the ones we're gonna go with today, because that matches our camper shell. Make sure you hold on to your old hardware from the other T-handle, you see have everything laid out right here, they need the back plate, these screws do not come with the new T-handle, you don't even get the cam, so you can order a new one like we have right here, just make sure the length is enough to grab the back of the camper shell so it actually locks the back hatch. We have our old one here. I know that works.

So we're just gonna stick with that. Let's go over how to install our new handles. It's gonna go right where the old one was. We gonna make sure the holes line up and match. You see we're not gonna have any issues in this handle in place.

Sometimes, if you look at the other styles, you wanna be aware with. You see how this sticks up past the lip. So this hole's gonna be bigger than that middle hole. And this one when you're gonna put in place it won't sit flat against there. So you can make this hole bigger so it will fit, but you probably don't wanna modify it any more than you have to. Now with the handle we're gonna set it in place, line up with the holes, make sure that it goes in the unlocked position. This is like one that turns clockwise, so we got it in the right spot. Now I'm gonna lift up the back hatch, so you can see the bottom side. So it's gonna stay right there and I'll get the hardware. We got the back plate here. We're gonna run in the screws on the side by hand, and then come back with the screwdriver, and tighten them down. So we'll get it started so it'll hold in place. So coming back with the screwdriver it's gotta run those down and tighten it up. Now we wanna install our cam. So we're gonna make sure I install it with it sticking back a little bit to make room for it to latch onto the side. So we'll put it right here on the back of the T-handle. Now you might have to test this out to make sure you get it in the right spot so it will grab the side of the camper shell. But I'm gonna start this screw, just as the test. I'm not gonna tighten down too much, but I do want it to stay in place. That looks good there. Lets test it on the door, so turn the handle over. Looks like there's quite a bit of a gap here. I put it too far towards the back, so I wanna move this can back towards the handle so it makes connection here, 'cause right now it's not gonna hold it. You see, it'll catch it, but the the back hatch will open up about that much. We don't want that. So we want this to be closer to the handle. With that adjustment made, we can turn the handle over and it holds much better than it did before. Now with this handle installed on this side, we're gonna do the same thing on the passenger side. Overall, really easy to replace this, definitely a good idea just to make sure you can keep everything secure on the inside of your truck bed, and not worry about somebody opening up the camper shell. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out. Hope this helped.

This topper lock was purchased to replace an Oval Jason topper lock that was no longer available. It bolted right up and some clear sealer on the outside mounting surface made it leakproof. It came with 2 keys and that was a plus.

One year later through all kinds of weather it is still working nicely!

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.

eTrailer is great

Parts arrived in three days and work well. Truck cap manufacturer couldn't get me the parts in three months! Customer Service was very helpful picking the parts I needed.



by:

Bought these to replace my old tlock handles because the key was really warm down and the lock tumbler was rusty. These are a great choice and when I was confused on which to buy customer service was very helpful and helped me chose the correct handles to buy. They also helped me chose the matching locks as the smaller handles on the sides of my camper! Would recommend and would definitely buy again from here. Thanks!



by:

Shipping info was great. Product work as it should have. Only thing I wish was that the other locking mechanism was included. My screws were a little rusted, but I got it to work. Thanks for a great product. I will be ordering the lock handles for my side windows shortly from uou.

Great product works really smooth

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!



by:

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



by:

The new handles and locks fit and work perfectly. Why did I wait until I am selling the truck to replace them!



by:

I received the CW t handle, I then requested a CCW t handle and received ANOTHER CW t handle which I already have. I've requested an RMA to return the 2nd CW order. I've shopped with etrailer for some time now and have never ran into any issues before now. Maybe they need a refresher on customer service. There will be no photos shared because I keep getting the run around.



by:

Just what I needed, my truck canopy locks again!



by:

Ordered this one after a similar amazon lock locked up after 1 winter. This lock is as smooth as it was out of the box a year later.



by:

The parts fit perfectly! Bolted right on and took about five minutes! Works as it should and all the keys work fine!

These locks are smooth as silk. And I love that there is a little key icon on the face to tell you which direction to place the key.



by:

solid, well constructed



by:

Super fast delivery



by:

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!



by:

Excellent service and quality at a fair price. I would highly recommend this company!



by:

I’ll need to add more spacers but they’ll work out fine



by:

So after installing new T handle locks on my truck cap they are still working great. Zero issues on the install or over the last year through all kinds of weather. Definitely recommend this product.
