Title: Latch handles Post by: Pat Pixley on September 21, 2007, 02:48:10 pm Ok quick question :upside:.
Fun-tronics has a latch handle for the Ideal 's & glassco sliders for the side loading door. Has anyone used them ?? And if so Good or Bad I would like to hear ? Thanks Pat Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: SIGNGUY on September 21, 2007, 04:02:36 pm Are these like what I'ver reffered to Freezer locks? I was wondering about them as well as the Squirt slider I just got has the locking mech all ripped out and would be hard to replace?
Like Pat said, would like to hear good and bad. Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: MoonDawg on September 21, 2007, 04:57:08 pm Would holes have to be drilled in the cabinet? What happens to
the existing lock assembly? Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: Pat Pixley on September 21, 2007, 11:03:47 pm I still have everything would just have to buy a new crank for the bottle
loading door Plus I did have some one look at my 7Up slider a while back and did not like the way the loading door opened up . So for this slider that I'm doing I was thinking of doing a latch handle to make it more user friendly( or customer friendly) . so this is my reason to look into a latch handle So again anyone installed one ? need to know the Pro's & Con's Pat Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: MoonDawg on September 22, 2007, 10:22:20 am The crank for the bottle door is simply a 3/8" allen wrench.
The only latch for a slider I can imagine is the ones used for the sliders that have a countertop added to the lid and the side door uses the quick-open freezer lock for quick access.

[/quote] That is the one I'm thinking of too.. anyone here used one yet??/ My whole locking assembly is missing from the slider I am working on... so this is the only solution as reproduction lock assemblies are not available as far as I know...

week and I will show it off . If you want mine Drop me a line. Thanks Pat Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: SIGNGUY on September 24, 2007, 04:00:44 pm I'd like to see what your order, where do you get it from and how much.
Also what do you need for the original door/part. PM if you want or signguy@cokenstuff.com thanks John Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: aspbear on September 24, 2007, 05:52:08 pm I have seen them before on sliders and they do look like little chrome freezer door handles. the ones I have seen do have to be drilled for mounting the brackets. I just like the old bolt type because they give you such a good seal. Like Moondawg said it is just a 3/8 inch allen wrench..

[/quote] I agree.. but if that part is missing completeley... what are the options? No reproduction bolt type /allen wrench styles are available as far as I know? and the spot on the door I have is shot where one would be mounted? Would be curious to see one in action? maybe I'll see one in Chicago? Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: MoonDawg on September 26, 2007, 11:02:28 am Are you missing the entire inside and outside bezels? Or just
the threaded screw on the inside? These can be made by cutting 2 styles of bolts and welding them together. As ofter as these seem to split apart at the head, it's surprising the suppliers don't have them. Title: Re: Latch handles Post by: SIGNGUY on September 26, 2007, 03:38:27 pm I have to take a look again at what is missing, i know the bolt is there, it's just that where it mounts to the door itself that part of the door is shot and nothing to mount to, and might be missing somthing.. It's also missing the inside and outside bezzles.
Guess I should just buy a new door? |
