Mystery locking door handle

[Grant Bowker]

Thank you. It was worth measuring to see if it might be relevant...

For those wanting to replace a locking door handle or convert a non-locking handle to give security and ease of access from both sides, there are many styles on Ebay.

I converted my Dodge WC12 to locking handles on both sides by finding a similar style and with a bit of work on the sanding belt made them look almost perfect. As they were being painted the loss of chrome did not matter.

Thank you David and Grant for the wireless body suggestions. I do not have any examples to inspect or books showing body part numbers. The shaft length (flange to tip of 5/16" shaft) is 2-7/8" so long enough for Grant's door thickness. Thank you Lang for the reference to repro keyed handles which are available in several mounting screw spacings. Maybe these handles were a security up-grade and the part number will be hard decipher as to application.

Looking at the VAOS list for Z3 shows that it covers radar & associated equipment. There are many listings for cabins and cabinets. I can see them being lockable to keep prying fingers out. No listing for small component parts though.
