Does anyone know the history of which baggage door handle was used where?  Looks like they are all cabinet door handles from Amerock, Berenson, and Jado.  The original 459-26 goes way back with older Mooneys, but I think it was a Berenson that was used on my M20K...but the IPC doesn't list effectivities for serial numbers and just lists them all together.  Lasar has a different part number 6032-3SC-B and notes alternate P/N 453-26.  Just found it curious that 4 handles are listed and I think that they may not have the same center to center widths (96mm vs 3.75" vs 4"??).  I'm also curious what metals each of the handles were made out of as each company offers aluminum, chrome, nickel, etc.

Anyone know the background and the difference of the 4 handles shown below?

(EDIT: this is proof that there actually IS an aviation aisle at Home Depot and Mooney shops there too!)

Mooney used a lot of off the shelf parts. There is a note in the M20J IPC that the source for the convex mirror used with the wing-mounted taxi lights is K-Mart.

If you are looking to replace the handle, since it is a standard part, I'd just find a cabinet handle that fits.

Looks like a 3.5” center to center wire pull cabinet handle on the M20K Encore. Berenson looks similar. Jado looks the same but that PN was 96mm (~3.75”) looks like.
