LavaLock 5-3/8" Stainless Spring Handle with 1/2" Steel Rod (6" Wide, 3.5" Tall) - Weld ON…

I needed to add some heavy-duty handles to a 20"x28" griddle that I use with both a standard 30" gas stovetop as well as a natural gas outdoor grill. This griddle is made of 3/16" mild steel and is pretty heavy (30 lbs.), so I needed a handle that was strong and secure. I thought about welding these handles to the griddle, but I also wanted to be able to remove them if necessary. These handles are made from 1/2" mild steel stock, so I ended up attaching them to the griddle with four 10-24NC x 5/8" button-head bolts. A 10-24NC bolt is about 3/16" in diameter, so this did not weaken the handles. It was relatively easy to drill 3/4" deep pilot holes into the handles and using a tap to make 10-24NC threads. I used a high temperature thread locker on the bolt threads. So far, it seems to be working. This is not something that gets a continuous load on the handle and threads. It is temporarily used when the griddle is moved.

Let's be honest, this is a handle for a fire pit, bbq, or wood stove. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. It does it's job perfectly an came in the dimensions as advertised. Has held up to heat just fine. No complaints

Well built strong sturdy and good looking!

The media could not be loaded. Love it, good quality and very strong

The stainless steel construction of the handle gives it a premium feel and ensures durability, making it suitable for outdoor and heavy-duty applications. The 1/2" steel rod adds to its strength, making it capable of withstanding significant pressure and weight.One of the standout features of this product is the spring handle mechanism, which provides excellent grip and comfort during use. It is easy to grip and hold onto, making it a convenient tool for any outdoor activity that requires handling and carrying heavy objects.

I built a bbq but you have to weld them on

Great handle for my rocket stove, I was gonna build my own, but saw these, and they are really nice, and high quality, will definitely buy more for the next rocket stoves I build!

had the neighbor weld this to my Lonestar Grillz firebox for much easier handling and access. So much easier to grip and dump than before. HIGHLY recommend. Touch up with some high heat paint and good to go!
