Trigger cable is adjustable, solid terminal cable cyclinder fits perfectly into metal cutout & wire lays perfectly into metal channel on handle, has a spring at hook end of cable to provide smooth, reliable operation. Replacing plastic handle on recliner which broke after 4 months of use. Fantastic product, easy to install.

Original plastic one broke, this replacement is steel, much better built and works great.

Metal not plastic. Exact fit. Installed in under two minutes.

This is a great replacement for one we had. The old ones we had, the braided steel cables, broke. I thought it would either be big money to fix or very expensive. The couch it was on is pretty worn, so I did not want to spend much on it, since it has maybe a year or so left in its usable life. To be completely honest, I do not write many Amazon reviews; it seems like most products have so many reviews that it does not matter to write one myself. This product, though, was easy to install (I did not even know about the videos), very cheap for a quick fix to the couch, and it was installed, adjusted, and tested on both sides in less than 30 minutes. The only catch is that the adjustment appears to be one-time, meaning do not mess with it unless you are sure of the adjustment you need. I did this on the first one by accident and luckily got it right, but you should install it and have it just not screwed in before you do the adjustment. Overall great value for the money, works well, easy to use, and easy to install, 4 stars for sure!

Even if your couch handle looks like this and is the same outer diameter, it may not fit without forcing the handle into place. If you find that to be the case, I recommend returning and trying a different brand. Yes, you can mallet it into place, but these are breakable (I broke one this way, and I wasn't whacking it with a lot of force). After replacing the new one that I broke during install, I was much more careful the second time around and it worked fine. The first time I replaced a handle on this couch, the replacement I picked out went in without needing to be forced. I didn't re-purchase that brand because it was more expensive at the time, but ultimately it would have saved me money compared to breaking one and then buying a second. Despite their fragility with respect to mallets, these seem to be much better quality than the cheap plastic that came with my couch. I'm not concerned the handle itself will break, which is how both of my older handles went. The only mildly complicated part is running the cable through to the bottom of your couch. It is hard to line it up with the opening, and for me there just wasn't space to reach up there. I sliced the liner, because the couch was cheap and I don't care that much. If it was a nicer couch, I would not have been willing to do that. In hindsight, it might have been better to attached a string to the old unit and pull that string through the handle opening from the bottom while pulling the old unit out. That would have allowed me to pull the new unit through using the string, hopefully making it easy to get it through the hole in the lining without slicing anything. Of course, that only works if that portion is still intact (in my case the handle broke, the rest was fine).

Installed easily and is stronger feeling than the original handle was. Used it for a while now and it works great.

Items works as described and beats plastics any day. Highly recommend.

Our couch recliner latch broke, so I bought this and it works amazing! It was easy to replace and I only had to measure the old latch and it was a great fit!
