Also, does your handle have to be open? Ours is a solid wood handle. Is this not going to work for this product? Thank you!

My fireplace looks just like the one in the picture. We have metal handles and the door lock fits perfectly below and above the handles. The doors have to be closed completely. I don't know about wood handles.

No it will not work. The product is two metal bars with hole drilled in them. One goes ontop of the Handel and the other goes on bottom. Then screws are placed in the top bar through the open handles and tightened into the bottom bar.

The handle appears solid, but, there is a "dimple" where the handle meets the body inside at the top and at the bottom. But water doesn't flow through the handle. You need to clean those areas.

Mine had handles but the quality was very poor. I worked a couple of days to make it usable. Good luck.

I bought 2 of them the first one open right up the second one didn't. On the left side close to top use a small screw driver or nail file to pop open the handle.Then once you get open do not close it.

I took a look at mine and it looks like the handle could be removed, however, I have never removed it and have not had a reason to yet.

Hi. I find that my lids with handles fit just fine. If the handle is wide enough it bridges over the dip or one side of the handle goes down into the dip and the other tilts up. I prefer to keep mine tilted as it is more stable. It is a great lid holder, although it's so sturdy that it can get heavy all loaded up. I hope you have solid wood cabinets with a strong hinge. ;)

If I remember what my hubby did, there was a little hole and he used the included tool to insert. That allowed the handle to be turned. Hope that helps.

Mine has no handle, and the bottom is smooth. They might have updated the product, but if not, the image is not accurate. Also, in case it matters: this will not fit in a standard deck umbrella stand, as it is too narrow. I found that out after buying it. =(

No the handle seems to be solid almost all the way to the whisk wires. I just tried filling the handle with water and none went in.

You have to loosen the knobs on the side, put the handle in the position you want it then tighten the knobs. Hope that helps.

This is an irksome design flaw for this product. You have to adjust the handle so it is not in the way. Just got to live with it.

My handle was attached so I don't believe that's normal. I would tell Amazon, if I were you. :-)

Yes, according to their product description a tool is needed to change the handle direction. I would contact the manufacturer for more information about this.

I've never had a problem with the handle coming loose however when I use it I place it on a granite countertop as it the whole unit came loose on a wooden table , never budged on the counter though. I truly love this unit works like a charm.

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

The handle is wood, press fit into the aluminum base. the aluminum is dimpled into the wood. It would be possible to loosen and remove the wood handle and install a longer wood handle or even find some aluminum tubing that fit snuggly over the wood and extend it that way. It might be easier to find a tool with a longer handle but if you can't it would be possible to modify this one.

I think this would work. The handle is hollow with a set screw hole and it looks like a spear tip to me. Hope this helps.
