RV-10 Low-Profile Door Handle Set

The price is for a full set to complete both doors on an RV-10.

The Low Profile Handle is made from aluminum alloy and a high-strength and corrosion-resistant stainless steel inner ring. The handle replaces the standard RV-10 Van’s Aircraft exterior handle supplied in the finishing kit. The handle has an aerodynamic design while maintaining the safety lock feature of the original design. The design also includes a location to install a lock flush with the handle, giving the door a finished and well-crafted look. Existing installs can be retrofitted with the new handle.

The handle operates similarly to the original Van’s handle, except for the safety latch release button, which is replaced with a lever action integrated into the handle design. The center of the circle is pushed lightly with the thumb, releasing the safety latch mechanism and causing the back end to pull away from the door, allowing access to grip the handle. The handle is then twisted to open the doors. NOTE: The degrees of rotation are not limited, allowing the use of the 180° Planearound Third Latch if desired.

The handle is approximately 1/3 the height of the stock Van’s handle, reducing drag and improving the aesthetic appearance of the aircraft. The professional fit and sleek design is right at home on the modern and aerodynamic RV-10.
