This is our top-tier recliner handle replacement made from full aluminium metal, offering a durable and long-lasting upgrade over standard plastic handles. With a smooth satin black finish and a reinforced 4-hole mounting system, this handle is ideal for anyone looking for strength, quality, and reliability. Supplied with a metal cable retaining clip, this universal recliner spare fits most brands and models of manual reclining furniture.
✔️ Premium Aluminium Upgrade – Stronger Than Plastic
If your plastic recliner handle has cracked, flexed, or failed—this is your solution. Made from solid aluminium and finished in satin black, this is the most durable and premium replacement handle available. Built to last and designed for high-use furniture, this handle is the smart choice for long-term reliability.
✔️ Compatible with All Leading Brands & Retailers
This handle fits most side-mounted manual recliner mechanisms from brands such as La-Z-Boy, Ashley, Catnapper, HTL, RMT, Motion, Leggett & Platt, and many more. Also suitable for recliner chairs and lounges sold by Nick Scali, Harvey Norman, Fantastic Furniture, Plush, Amart, and other major furniture retailers.
✔️ Also Known As
Often referred to as a flapper lever, trigger release latch, mechanism lever, finger-flick recliner handle, or recliner side latch. This large oval design is the most common found on manual non-electric recliner chairs, sofas, modular lounges and home theatre seating.
✔️ Standard Size with Flexible 4-Hole Mounting Design
Measuring approximately 112mm wide x 68mm high x 40mm deep, this large oval handle matches the common size used on most manual recliner furniture. It features 4 screw holes to ensure wide compatibility: two are located on the top and bottom of the side profile (standard layout), and two more are positioned in the rear cup of the handle. Most recliners will only require 2 screws, but the added mounting options make this handle suitable for virtually any recliner installation setup—whether you're replacing a plastic version or fitting to a different screw pattern.
✔️ Smooth Non-Scratch Satin Black Finish
Finished in a non-gloss satin black, this handle blends seamlessly with most recliner furniture. Its smooth surface offers a premium look and feel, while resisting marks, scratches and wear – ideal for both indoor and outdoor furniture.
✔️ Spring-Activated Trigger and Cable Fitment
The internal spring ensures the handle always returns to the closed position after use. The barrel hole accepts the industry-standard 6mm barrel, and comfortably fits cables sized 4mm to 7mm. Comes with a matching metal cable retainer clip to secure the cable into place.
