Dorman 77261 Front Driver Side Exterior Door Handle Compatible with Select Chevrolet / GMC Models, Textured Black

Fit perfectly. Instructions were spot on. Very happy with end results ☺️

Works and looks just like OEM. Fit perfectly in my 05 sierra.

Sure, the day after I received this part, there is a 20% discount on it and I've almost never seen Dorman offer any discount. -_- Regardless, this is another great product from Dorman, I can always count on them. This door handle is very close in quality and design to the OEM handle on my 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 base v6. The only difference is that the back of this handle itself is smooth, whereas the OEM was completely textured. Very similar weight of the Dorman versus OEM, based solely on my absolutely flawless judgement, no scale required. If an OEM option isn't available, Dorman is always your next best option. The handle replacement is great, albeit a pain in the arse to get to just for a solid 3 minutes of labor to get the old handle out and the new handle in. I would recommend all Dorman products period.

As others have noted these handle assemblies are slightly less rugged in terms of manufacturing overall, but for the money they're definitely good enough to give them a shot. Once installed they look and feel just like OEM. The main hinge-point drift pin for the handle lever is not as high quality as the OEM but seems to work fine. We'll see. I just swapped both sides as hairline cracks in the 2003 Sierra OEM handles caused water to seep in and rust the lower mounting studs on both sides. Fortunately I caught it just before the door skin mounting holes corroded. I don't know if I'll get 16 years out of them like the originals, but it took me less than an hour to do both sides so if they last half as long its still worth it. Tip: Don't assume that the installation process is exactly as described in "some" of the YouTube videos. Some suggest more disassembly than may be necessary. In my case it was much easier as there were only two 9/32 hex head screws (behind two pop-off plastic trim pieces) that held the whole panel on. The door panel has solid nylon hooks that make it super easy to get on and off once the two screws are out.

Good fit

The OEM handle on my '03 Suburban broke after 185,000 miles and one too many sub-zero Montana winters. The old one broke off right at the metal part that actuates the rod. This one appears exactly the same as the OEM in terms of look, feel, weight and apparent quality. Been installed for a couple of days now, looks and works as good the old one. Installation was easy after finding the right video online and like many others, taking the door apart took longer than replacement but is easy, including transfer the lock from the old handle. It's true the top not is a little harder to get to but it's not too bad, I just pulled back some of the plastic and reach up and was able to get a socket and ratchet on it without much trouble. Just go slow on removing the nuts and don't drop them down in the door and you'll be fine. It's also quite satisfying to successfully repair something on my vehicle for under fifteen bucks that even at a cheap shop would be at least a hundred!

My original handle broke off internally so I ordered it his replacement. It is of the same design as factory. It installs just like the factory one and everything matches up. You have to take off the door panel and stuff but was easy to replace if you take your time. It functions just like the factory one. Hopefully it will be more durable than the factory one.

Fit just right on my 05 gmc sierra
