A while ago there was a discussion of the handle on the big slider doors in one of the lists I subscribe to and the piece that fits around the handle and into the door opening. A member (Alistair) had made some for himself and so I thought I’d ask if he had made any extras (people had suggested to him that might be a good thing). Al hadn’t however he offered to make me one and send it my way.

The tale of this escutcheon is a long one; it includes a mail strike, a hook in a workshop, insufficient postage, a burned out Y key, and a few other things. However the tale is now complete as I just finished installing it. Here are a few iphone pics so Al can see his handiwork in place.
Thanks, I really appreciate this Al.

| The handle now sits properly, nice and snug |
However there is another tale that this exercise revealed… the handle itself is cracked and will need to be replaced. (Anyone have a handle for an ’82 slider?).
