CHERY H136105120 DOOR HANDLE
Product Specifications
| CHERY | H136105120 |
The DOOR HANDLE is a vehicle door handle assembly — the exterior or interior grip and lever mechanism that operates the door latch release system, allowing the door to be opened from outside or inside the vehicle. The exterior door handle is a body-coloured or chrome-finished lever or pull-grip moulded from glass-filled polyamide or zinc die-cast aluminium that is mounted on the door outer skin through a two-point fastening system; when pulled or lifted, the handle transmits mechanical displacement through a steel link rod or cable to the door latch's release lever, retracting the latch fork from the striker and releasing the door. On vehicles with central locking, the exterior handle also carries or actuates the lock barrel or touch-sensitive capacitive sensor for keyless entry. The interior door handle is a pull lever mounted on the door inner trim carrier that operates the interior release cable, providing occupant egress; on doors with child safety locks the interior release mechanism is disabled by the child lock lever on the door edge, preventing interior operation regardless of handle input. The handle's lever geometry, pivot pin axis, and link rod or cable attachment point position are precisely engineered for the specific latch assembly to provide the required travel distance at the latch release lever with a grip force that meets regulatory ergonomic requirements — typically the door must open with a pull force not exceeding 45 N from inside and 60 N from outside.
This unit — CHERY H136105120 — is manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications: handle body outer dimensions and door skin aperture mounting geometry, pivot pin position and lever arm length for the correct link rod or cable travel, cable or link rod attachment end geometry, lock barrel or keyless sensor provision where applicable, surface treatment — body colour primer or chrome finish — and UV resistance specification for exterior applications are matched to the original part. Supplied as a complete handle assembly ready for installation. Available wholesale from 3.54 USD, MOQ 1 pcs, production lead time 30-45 days.
Door handles fail through pivot pin or lever arm fracture from impact — a door opened against a post or pillar at the handle's maximum travel angle concentrates the impact force at the lever arm root, fracturing the glass-filled nylon at the stress concentration; through pivot pin wear that introduces play into the lever mechanism, causing a loose or floppy handle feel; through UV and thermal cycling embrittlement that converts the outer handle's polycarbonate or polyamide body from ductile to brittle, causing it to shatter under normal operating force in cold weather; and through chrome layer delamination on chrome-finished handles from underbody road salt splash that reaches the handle lower edge.
- Confirm the correct side — left or right — and the correct door position — front or rear — before installation — door handles are handed; the lever pivot geometry, actuating arm angle, and cable or link rod attachment point are specific to the left and right sides and may differ between front and rear doors on the same vehicle; a handle fitted to the wrong side will either pull in the opposite direction to the door's opening direction, stressing the cable in an undesigned direction, or will produce insufficient latch release travel because the actuating arm geometry is incorrect for that side.
- Transfer the lock barrel from the old handle to the new one before installation where applicable — on vehicles where the key cylinder is retained in the door handle, the barrel is matched to the vehicle's key and cannot be replaced with a new generic barrel; remove the retaining clip or spring that secures the barrel in the old handle, extract the barrel, and press it into the new handle's barrel recess until the retaining clip engages; confirm the key operates the barrel smoothly in the new handle before mounting.
- Connect the link rod or cable to the new handle's actuating arm before securing the handle to the door — on most exterior handle designs the cable clip or link rod clip is accessible only while the handle is partially inserted into the door aperture before the retaining clips are fully engaged; attempting to connect the cable after the handle is fully seated requires removing the handle again on most designs; insert the handle partially, connect and confirm the cable clip is locked, then press the handle fully into its seated position.
- Confirm the handle pivot action and latch release function before refitting the door trim panel — with the door trim removed and the handle installed, operate the handle through its full travel range and confirm the latch fork retracts completely from the striker position; pull the handle slowly and feel for a smooth, progressive resistance that ends with a clean latch release; any binding or hesitation mid-travel indicates the cable is kinked or the link rod is fouling an adjacent component; identify and correct before refitting the trim.
- Apply a small quantity of silicone grease to the exterior handle pivot pin and the cable clip attachment point — the pivot pin and cable attachment clip are exposed to the underdoor environment and accumulate road salt and moisture that produce the corrosion seizure that makes future handle removal difficult; a thin application of silicone grease at these points at installation significantly reduces the corrosion rate and ensures the handle can be removed cleanly at the next service without fracturing the door skin mounting clips.
- Install the new DOOR HANDLE (CHERY H136105120), confirm the handle operates the latch cleanly from both minimum and maximum grip positions, confirm the lock barrel or keyless sensor function where applicable, refit the door trim panel, and perform five open-and-close cycles from both inside and outside the vehicle confirming consistent latch release with correct operating force before returning the vehicle to service.
| Part | Reason for Combined Replacement |
|---|---|
| Door Latch Assembly OEM ref. varies by door position | An exterior handle that fractured during a door opening attempt imposed an impact load on the latch release cable and on the latch release lever that may have bent or cracked the latch mechanism's release pawl. Inspect the latch function with the new handle installed by observing the latch fork's retraction through the door aperture during handle operation; a latch whose release lever is bent will not retract the fork completely even with correct cable travel from the new handle, leaving the door requiring excessive force to open. Replace the latch simultaneously if the release lever shows any deformation. |
| Door Lock Actuator OEM ref. varies by door and locking system | On vehicles where the door handle's keyless entry sensor or lock barrel has failed simultaneously with or shortly before the handle body failure, the lock actuator integrated into the door latch mechanism should be inspected simultaneously with the handle replacement. A lock actuator that has been cycling with a stiff or corroded lock mechanism accumulates excessive current draw that shortens its motor service life; confirm the actuator operates smoothly through the lock and unlock cycle with the new handle's lock barrel before completing the door trim reassembly. |
| Handle-to-Latch Link Rod or Cable Application-specific — OEM length and end fitting | A link rod or cable that has been in service with a worn or seized original handle will have developed stretch or kinking at the cable end from the increased pull force required to operate the stiff handle. A stretched cable has reduced effective length that may not deliver sufficient latch release travel even when the new handle's full cable displacement is applied. Inspect the cable for kinking or stretch marks at the handle connection end and replace simultaneously with the handle if any deformation is found. |
