Door Handle Explained

There's a spring inside the button to pop the button back out.
Here is the handle with the button out (not pressed in).

When the button is pressed in, it pushes the pin out of the back
of the handle. This pin pushes against a plate that has a rod
attached to it that pulls on the pawl in the door latch.

The spring and pin are held in by the actuator assembly on the
back of the handle. This actuator assembly is held on by a metal
tab and a single screw.
(The picture was suppossed to say "screw on the back".)

Here is an exploded view of the door handle. The o-ring slides over the
botton. The spring slides into the button and over the boss in the
actuator assembly.

All the parts are interchangeable from right side to
left side with the exception of the handle itself.
There is one extra hole for the attaching screw and an extra hole for the
latch pawl rod in the actuator assembly. You will use one set of holes
for the right handle, and the other set of holes for the left handle.
