[C320-list] Replacement handle for rear cabin door

[Jeff Hare]

Graeme,

The door assembly is made by SouthCo (http://www.southco.com) if I recall
correctly.

I haven't looked but perhaps their Omni Door Latch would be a direct
replacement?

They have CAD drawings so you can get dimensions to make it easier to find a
replacement.  Allan's suggestion is a great one.  Point the handle down and
maybe you won't catch things on it...

Subject: [C320-list] Replacement handle for rear cabin door

Is it only me that continually catches some piece of clothing or a strap or
belt on the lever-type door handle in the aft main cabin when squeezing
through the door!

I'd like to replace it with a circular 'knob-type' handle but obviously
would like to avoid hours of additional carpentry making new mortises and so
on, so ideally a like for like replacement with a different handle style.

Does anyone know anything about who makes this item of hardware or anyone
else done a similar replacement?
