I am willing to wait to see if we can get enough for a group buy. Count me in if there is enough interest!

The product is too cheap to warrant such effort; however, I do question the $10 shipping cost that Austin Hardware demands. My impression of companies that make money by grossly inflating shipping costs is one of unscrupulousness. I should add that I purchased the item despite the shipping cost. Small price to pay for a more secure location for my recovery gear.

I'd be in for the group buy too. I hate giving $10 shipping for an item that only cost $4.00 to ship. It's the principal. I just think that there has to be other places that sell these things at a more reasonable price. Hell, couldn't the handle be replaced by one of those locking truck topper handles or something. I mean this is not rocket science this is just a handle.

That would be no cheaper. As I paid $27+shipping for just one. It sounds like they are trying to sell you the latch with the longer grip range. See my post above about which one actually works.

I just got word. The shipping would be about $14 total for 25 pieces. Ok so if they ship to my house how would you all get yours? So we are talking $31.00 each for 25 shipped to me in Vermont, (this seems to be a little cheaper) then I figure I can ship em (can't be more than 3-5 bucks) or entice you guys to come get em from me ... Does this sound doable? I need 24 more people to commit. Who is in?

Musikman,
Clicking on your link for Southco 92-42-511 in your post, gives me the Southco 92-41-511 which specifies that it is clockwise to latch. So, is Southco 92-42-511 which appears to be counterclockwise to latch, and specified in your post the wrong one? It seems as if it should be Southco 92-41-511.
Please clarify, and thanks.

I'm working on finding a distributor in Southern California. When I find one, i'm planning on buying a bunch of these and then sending them out to the rest of you if you don't already have one or one on the way. I don't mind putting up the money 'cause I know these will sell like hotcakes if i'm left with some that don't have a home to send them to. I do alot of business on eBay I don't have a problem with putting up the money and i'm completely fair on shipping them out. I'll get word back into the board as soon as i've got a way to get them ordered.

Hey Musik, hopefully this isn't me being dense, but I'm just trying to make sure I buy the right part. We're looking to get the 92-41-511 Clockwise latching handle, right? That is what all the discussion seems to come to, but the link you provided to Southco is confusing (you're link says "92-42-511" but it goes to the "92-41-511" page). Just trying to stay sane Oh, and thanks again for all your foot-work on this, it's an essential mod as far as I'm concerned.

That is odd, that is the 2nd time I fixed that problem. It's now correct.
The thanks should go to eist1, he was the one to figure out that there even was a locking handle for it.

Great find and great info, guys. I contacted Southco's Michigan distributor ( ECPH ) for a quote as well, both for one unit and for a dozen. I'll post the info when I get it.

Yep, I got mine a while back, ordering was smooth. I haven't installed it yet, waiting for some of the chill in the air to go away first

Well, no word yet from the Michigan guys. I tried to get a price from the Southco site, but after I registered, I got an e-mail that said basically I don't have a big enough order ($5000!) nor an account history. B Slater and Buley, am I looking in the right place, or do you guys have access by virtue of your workplaces?
Of course, I can always go through Austin Hardware, too, but I thought it would be good to find a local supplier if possible.

Bought the locking handle a couple of months ago, finally got around to installing it today. Thanks for the instructions and photos, eist1 -- it was a breeze!

when I emailed the company about the price they recognized my companies name in my email adress. I guess my engineering company has an account with them. I got 20 dollars off.
